377 Medical Devices for Children's Surgery
We bought medical devices for over PLN 40 000 000. After two days of negotiations, 377 medical devices for children's surgery wards will be donated to 65 hospitals in 51 towns in Poland. Our charity buys medical equipment after a thorough analysis of all features of all devices, negotiations with vendors and consultations with experts. Our 56th Open Tender focused on buying medical devices for children's surgery. We looked into some of the most modern equipment, which promotes non-invasive, safe procedures and diagnosis.
Let the numbers speak for themselves. It took a team of 15 experts: leading doctors, surgeons, medical engineers to examine the wares presented by the representatives of 27 manufacturers. Negotiations proved to be extremely successful - out of PLN 50 000 000 set aside for these purchases, we spent PLN 40 681 573,64. 377 medical devices were bought with the funds we have raised at the Grand Finale fundraiser 2020. COVID-19 pandemic forced us to postpone all activities relating to the purchase of medical devices, except for our work to bring relief to hospitals and frontline medical staff fighting with the pandemic in Poland.
Medical devices will be donated to 65 children's hospitals in 51 towns nationwide. We aim to ensure that access to great medical care and, consequently, great medical equipment is universal.
First medical devices already delivered to Ukraine
The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is committed to providing support to hospitals in Ukraine. First deliveries of humanitarian aid reached two towns in western parts of the country. We delivered devices to Rivne and Uzhorod.
The most expensive device in the history of the GOCC will be launched next week
The digital PET-CT scanner is a device which allows highly accurate and detailed imaging of tumour foci in children bodies. This equipment purchased by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation for nearly PLN 16 mln is the most expensive machine in the history of the GOCC.
Secure Internet at Humanitarian Aid Points
The cornerstone of our work is the effective coordination and constant communication between all our humanitarian aid points and the headquarters in Warsaw.

LittleBigPlanet Servers Closed After Hackers Post Hateful Messages
Image: Kotaku
For a while now, PS3 platformer LittleBigPlanet has been under attack, its servers repeatedly the target for people with nothing better to do than annoy whatever fanbase is left for a game that was first released in 2008.
The game's servers have been struggling since March, when it was assumed that DDOS attacks were the cause for repeated shutdowns and closures. They were closed again on the weekend, though, when hackers gained access to the game's community features to post transphobic messages.
It has been over two months since users first started reporting downtime and issues with LittleBigPlanet's servers, which Sony has only briefly addressed from a technical perspective, without providing an explanation as to why the attacks are taking place or what can be done to salvage the community for a game that despite its age still has its fair share of fans.
Fans speaking to Eurogamer, however, place the blame for the initial DDOS attacks at least at the feet of a rogue fan, who they suspect is "unhappy with Sony's treatment of the franchise".

Today's Diamond Dynasty main screen in MLB The Show 18, highlighting today's content update.
MLB The Show 18 has released the much anticipated content update for April's Player of the Month (POTM) cards. There are more than a handful of new additions to the game, and it goes far beyond new players. San Diego Studio (SDS) also released a roster update and a new online event (and reward).
As expected, New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius received the top POTM card, a 91 overall that is not auctionable. Anyone can earn him via his April Monthly Rewards program.
In addition to Didi, several other POTM cards hit the market today. Per TheShowNation, here is a full list of new players, and where you can find them.
The April 2018 Monthly Awards pack is also live in Diamond Dynasty. For 20,000 stubs, buyers receive 4 cards, including a guaranteed POTM card needed for Didi's program. To be clear: Gregorius, Manaea and Villanueva cannot be found in packs.
Next, SDS released a brand new online event for Diamond Dynasty. The "Hall of Fame Event" requires players to play 6-inning games on Hall of Fame difficulty, with the ultimate goal of earning the new event reward, 92 overall Wade Boggs.
Boggs is one of the best event rewards in MLB The Show in recent memory. He can be earned by racking up 25 wins in the new event, which ends May 14.
Lastly, a new roster update came out today. This is not an update that contains upgrades and downgrades, but rather includes position changes and roster moves. This is notable because Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., the top prospect in baseball, is now in Diamond Dynasty. He debuts as a 76 overall silver, an astronomical number for a 19-year-old rookie.
More info on today's content update can be found here.
What do you think of today's MLB The Show 18 update? Which of the new players are you excited to use in Diamond Dynasty? Let us know in the comment section below, and don't forget to subscribe to Sports Gamers Online.

Q: SchemaSpy without any direct database connection I want to use SchemaSpy, but I my database is used heavily 24/7 and the DBA won't give me access, even readonly. However, i can give the DBA some commands and he can run them and give me the results.
Is it possible for SchemaSpy to run offline mode? In other words, Can I give it a dump of all the "CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX" and a list of all the sizes of the tables, and then it can generate the report?
A: Ok, The best thing about schemaspy is that it automatically runs and collects all the objects and in the case of the tables performed a count.
In your specific case you can use a work around as follows.
Ask your DBA for a dump or even the empty bank creation script, just the structures. And direct schemaspy to that bank that simulates your production.
By the way I have created a docker image that uses schamespy to document all the bases of a server.

London Designs Festival – Memory & Light
Responding to a unique setting
The 18th-century Norfolk House Music Room in the British Galleries of the V&A houses the installation. As an intimate music salon designed in 1756 and rescued by the V&A when Norfolk House was being demolished in 1938, it is a testament to beautiful music, design and materials that transcend time.
Blueprint is the media partner for another music and architecture (and design) installation during LDF, this time at the V&A, inspired by modern composer Arvo Pärt, in the Norfolk House Music Room within the museum. Estonia-born Pärt is the most performed contemporary composer in the world, whose life and music represent a drive for freedom and invention, against the odds. This installation — a rare collaboration — is inspired by Pärt's proclamation: 'I could compare my music to white light, which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener.'
Curated by Clare Farrow, in collaboration with Arup specialists Stephen Philips (product design), Ned Crowe (acoustic design) and Ed Elbourne (venue design), this multisensory installation brings Pärt's words to life. A transparent curved screen made from Perspex* acrylic from its Vario collection represents the prism, fabricated by the expert team at Talbot Designs, alongside a viewing and listening bench upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather, where visitors can sit and experience the composer's words and music — Spiegel im Spiegel, Für Alina, Silentium and Da pacem Domine — played through Harman Kardon speakers. The installation is also supported by Estonia 100 and Hiscox.

Nearly 80 Percent of Banks Expect Real-Time Payments and Open Banking Will Drive Payments Transformation Over Time
New benchmark study from ACI Worldwide and Ovum reveals both real-time payments and open banking as major competitive differentiators in the future of banking
April 30, 2018 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As open banking continues its rapid ascent, nearly 90 percent (87) of banks globally plan to move forward with open APIs, according to new benchmark data, "2018 Global Payments Insight Survey: Retail Banking," from ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW) and Ovum. The benchmark, comprised of responses from executives across financial institutions, merchants and billing organizations such as consumer finance and insurance, also showed that the emphasis on real-time payments has doubled from 31 percent to 62 percent within a 12-month span.
The explosion of activity in real-time payments and open banking has made payments transformation a key strategic initiative for many institutions globally. Although driven primarily by regulatory mandates in Europe, open banking has taken off in North America due to market competition. For banks, the message is clear; customers prefer real-time payments, whether it's through a mobile app, or through traditional banking services.
Banks reporting a clear strategy for developing APIs increased by 47 percent within one year
European banks led at 92 percent, followed by 86 percent in Asia, and 82 percent in the Americas
Over 70 percent (73) of banks were willing to open up their APIs to third party developers
At 79 percent, European banks had the most proactive mindset, followed by Asia at 74 percent, and the Americas at 66 percent; interestingly, 70 percent of banks in the U.S. plan to encourage the use of their APIs
Real-Time Payments
Banks that now expect real-time payments to drive revenue growth increased by 60 percent in one year
The number of banks currently investing in real-time payments solutions doubled in a year, with 28 percent planning to make future investments
Real-time payments drive a new wave of real-time payment hub investment for 43 percent of respondents
Online payment capabilities
Holding steady at 68 percent globally are banks that currently or recently invested in this area, with many enhancing support for third-party wallet offerings and tokenization
Real-time is becoming a reality with nearly 80 percent (78) of banks and almost 70 percent (68) of merchants globally stating that the combination of immediate payments and open banking will drive a decline in the importance of payment cards
Security/Compliance
As banks prepare for the new payments ecosystem, they're looking to balance security and compliance alongside innovation
Security is a chief area of concern around open banking, increasing in Europe by 29 percent, and Asia by 16 percent between 2017 and 2018. However, banks in the Americas with security concerns declined by 25 percent
"The dramatic change in attitudes toward both open banking and real-time payments in just one year is telling," said Craig Ramsey, head of real-time payments, ACI Worldwide. "The big takeaway here is that real-time payments and open banking are set to reshape the competitive landscape, and banks should stay open to the potential new revenue streams and deepened relationships that will be brought to both consumers and merchants."
"The results of the study highlight important steps that all retail banks should consider to ensure that they are prepared for current challenges and future opportunities," said Kieran Hines, head of industries, Ovum. "Real-time payments and open banking initiatives have the potential to bring fundamental change to the retail banking value chain and must be viewed as true opportunities for service enhancement and transformation."

Join ACI and Ovum for a further discussion on the findings of the report on May 29 in Europe and North America.
For the 2018 Global Payment Information Survey, Ovum and ACI Worldwide partnered to run a 22-question survey across a global panel of executives, with a focus on retail banks, billing organizations and merchants. The main topics of focus for the survey include: IT investment plans around payment services, core business objectives and priorities, attitudes toward fraud and security, payment systems and architecture, and plans and experiences around open banking and real-time payments. The survey was conducted between December 2017 and January 2018 and provides insight into current thinking in the industry across financial institutions, merchants and billing organizations such as higher education, consumer finance and insurance. Overall, it included a total of 1,032 executive respondents across 13 industry sub verticals in 19 countries, resulting in 225,000 separate data points on current perceptions and investment plans around payments technology on a global basis.
This paper focuses on the survey findings for retail banks and is one of a four-part series based on Ovum's 2018 survey.

The yuan has gained 18.4% in value against the dollar since China ended the dollar peg in 2005.
The U.S. on May 15 accused China of keeping its yuan currency "substantially undervalued," but stopped short of branding Beijing a currency manipulator. "Neither China or any other major trading partner of the United States met the requirements" for U.S. designation of having manipulated its currency, the Treasury said in a highly anticipated report on foreign-exchange rates. Still, the U.S. ratcheted up its longstanding criticism of China's yuan, or renminbi (RMB).
"The recent acceleration (in the yuan's value) in appreciation is a welcome development. However, overall gains remain insufficient," the twice-yearly Treasury report to Congress said.
As of April 15, the Treasury said the yuan had gained 18.4% in value against the dollar since China ended the dollar peg in 2005. It called on China to maintain the recent faster pace of yuan appreciation, "as the currency remains substantially undervalued" and upward market pressures on the currency "remains strong."
President Bush's administration has resisted stiff pressure from some lawmakers to sanction China for currency manipulation.
The U.S. trade deficit with China ballooned 10% last year to a record $256.3 billion, provoking fresh protests in Congress and the business sector that the Asian powerhouse deliberately manipulates the yuan to maintain an unfair trade advantage.
The Treasury report highlighted that China's currency undervaluation is creating risks "for itself, the Asian region and the world economy in which China is playing a greater role. Chinese exchange-rate practices justifiably remain a focal point for the international community."
It underscored that China's "rigid forex policycontinues to support large-scale domestic liquidity creation, which threatens monetary and price stability," and urged China to "intensify its efforts to rebalance its economy." Specifically, the Treasury recommended that China boost domestic demand and consumption-led growth, reform its financial system, and achieve "greater monetary policy autonomy" through rapid yuan appreciation and "greater flexibility" of its forex regime.

Many of the newer engineered trash containers have hooks on their upper rims to grocery bag handles seeing that the number of trash bags utilized in a week is approximately the same range of bags brought home from the food markets. Customers find that the 13-gallon bags at stores are cheaper than the odd size ones and are more likely to be on sale. With the average trash emptied every night, the trash odor does not include time to accumulate in the plastic trash container. Plastic litter cans are easy to clean and preserve odor free, with shopping bags helping to lower garbage liner expenses, all this adds up to make this type of trash textbox one of the more popular ones. By emptying the bag daily, there is no chance of an aroma building up. A useful tip is to make sure the trash liner will fit the can and is not so small that the bag slides straight down, allowing food and aroma to accumulate throughout the day. Also, line the trash can down outside on a daily basis if it requires it, while using a cloth or sponge with dishwater liquid to clean the stains that continue to be.

I'm dog tired! I was happy to drive/ ride along for the 3 hour trip if it meant spending more time with my Grandma, but making that trip 3 days in a row has made me so exhausted! Not to mention staying up way past anyone's bedtime last night. This is going to be short!
After returning home and missing 4 1/2 hours of fun beach-like activities, I just wanted to spend time with my family. We decided to take the kids to the closest pier area and let the take in some of the amusement. My son raced around the slick track, which he took to quite well for his first time in a go-cart, and also took too seriously. My daughter only had one choice really--the bungie trampoline. She definitely wasn't riding on the mechanical bull! She was flabbergasted that anyone would want to ride something that purposefully threw you off of it to possible doomsom. Of course, my son wanted to ride it. After rides, we had ice cream, walked out the pier, then bed.
I am incredibly grateful to have spent time with my grandma despite being really tired right now. I am even more grateful for getting out with my husband and kids to enjoy unique family time.

Lacrosse: Lambert boys pull out wild overtime win over Centennial in state semis
Lambert's Benny O'Rourk celebrates after scoring the game-winning goal in the Longhorns' state semifinal matchup against Centennial on May 16, 2018 at Centennial High School. - photo by Ian Frazer
ROSWELL — Philip White heard the crowd chanting his name, and as he crouched down to take what could have been the last faceoff his high school career, he felt his right ankle throbbing. He had no choice in how to deal with the pain.
"I blocked it out," White said.
White won the faceoff, with teammate Jonny Divirgilio picking up the loose ball, and Lambert quickly took a timeout, tied 14-14 with Centennial in the overtime period of the Class 6-7A boys lacrosse state semifinals on Wednesday. The Longhorns felt an unfamiliar anxiety, as none of their prior games during the season had even been close in the fourth quarter.
"I was a little shocked," Lambert junior Benny O'Rourk said.
The anxiety wouldn't last. The Longhorns planned to work the ball behind goal to Gerard Kane on the right side, but Kane was covered. No matter: Ryan Overbay passed to O'Rourk towards the top of the circle, and he drove towards goal and fired a shot that went in and gave Lambert a 15-14 win, ending the dramatics and sending the Longhorns to the state finals, where they're set to play at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Kennesaw State's Fifth Third Stadium.
Most of Wednesday's game had the look of the laughers that have formed the bulk of the 21-0 Longhorns' season. Centennial scored the first two goals, but Lambert started more winning faceoffs after that, and the Longhorns' possessions seldom ended without goals. They went into halftime leading 9-4.
"When we had the ball at their end of the field, we were having a lot of success," Lambert director of lacrosse Rich Wehman said. "In that third quarter, they had the ball at our end of the field the entire quarter – it wasn't a matter of what we were doing down there (on offense)."
When White's advantage in the circle faded and the Knights started possessing more, Lambert saw its lead slip away. Centennial trailed just 10-8 at the end of the third quarter, and with 6:38 left in the game, the Knights led 13-11.
But White won the next faceoff, and the one after that, and the Longhorns scored on both of them. Centennial's Jack Risse scored with 2:54 left to put the Knights up 14-13, but Divirgilio put one in from close range with seven seconds left to send the game to overtime.
Lambert's playoff run this year has taken a remarkably similar shape to last year's. In 2017, the Longhorns beat Pope in the quarterfinals and Centennial in the semifinals. Those wins set up a championship matchup with Lassiter, and this year's Longhorns will also face the Trojans in the title game.
And revenge will be on their minds, as last year's title game ended in a 10-5 loss for the Longhorns.
"It's going to be a good one," O'Rourk said. "For sure."

What was good for 19th century America is good for 21st century America? Maybe so! Just don't ask our backs, joints, or the various parts of our musculature, which, after a long winter laying dormant , were not quite ready for the season (we're good now). Above, Shayna works a wheel hoe over our land. It was pretty tough.
Fortunately we got some friends to help.
For those curious, the pile of cabbage and onion in the background is leftover from the farmer who worked the field last year. We've since moved them into our compost heap (one day we hope to use compost heat, getting to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit in the dead of winter at the pile's center, to help heat our greenhouse.).
So, it's not all by hand. Our neighboring farmer, Guy from Blooming Hill, did us a solid by running his tractor over the land, significantly loosening most of the soil. It still took us a full day of raking to get the soil into raised beds.

The details of Doug Ford's first budget were just released, and just as we feared, Mr. Ford has unleashed cuts on TVO.
We all saw this coming, but I'm still in disbelief.
The details of Doug Ford's first budget were just released, and just as we feared, Mr. Ford has unleashed cuts on TVO. The damage is just shy of $2,000,000 – a 4.5% cut. That may not sound like a lot, but you have to remember that TVO's budget has been frozen since 2015. Adjusting for inflation, Ford's cuts leave TVO's budget 11% smaller than it was in four years ago.
Maybe Steve Paikin asked one tough question too many.
He boasts that his is the first ever "government for the people", but Doug Ford's war on Polkaroo flies in the face of the people's will. Last year, our research found that 73% of Ontarians support maintaining or increasing funding for TVO and TFO, including 66% of people who would consider voting for Ford's Progressive Conservatives.
The people's will is clear. Will you help us to make it heard? Please give generously to support our phone blitz.
TVO, and its French-language counterpart TFO, provide invaluable current affairs and educational programming that enrich the lives of all Ontarians. Ford's assault on public broadcasting is a direct affront to our culture of decency and democracy.
We have an ambitious plan to place 10,000 phone calls to Progressive Conservative MPPs, so they come to understand just how much Ontarians value public broadcasting. To do that, we need to raise $10,000 in the next 48 hours. Please chip in so we can respond with force.
Just like his populist counterparts around the world, Doug Ford is no fan of an informed public. When journalists expose his shortcomings, he calls them "the opposition." He plans to fire 3,475 teachers, and now we know that he's no friend of TVO.
An ignorant society is vulnerable to authoritarianism. That's why we must do everything we can to stop Doug Ford's assault on Ontario's educational public broadcasters.
Help us make 10,000 calls to Progressive Conservative MPPs. Let's show Mr. Ford what people power can do.
Stand with 364,000 fellow Canadians
Stand with us in the defense of Canada's cultural and economic interests.

Larson Electronics' larsonelectronics.com added a new handheld rechargeable spotlight today, featuring a 3000 foot beam and 2.5 hour run time lithium ion battery. An advanced version of the popular handheld spotlight HL-85-HID, the RL-85-HID spotlight features cordless drill type form factor and operators can simply replace the spotlight battery when depleted in the same way they change batteries on a cordless drill.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 19, 2010 -- Larson Electronics' added the RL-85-HID rechargeable handheld HID spotlight to larsonelectronics.com this week. Featuring a lightweight removable 2.5 hour run time lithium ion battery pack, 3200 lumen output HID bulb and a adjustable beam, the RL-85-HID is the most feature rich handheld HID Larson Electronics spotlight released to date. The RL-85-HID handheld rechargeable spotlight features interchangeable lithium ion battery packs, booted on/off switch, durable construction and rock solid 35 watt bulb and ballast combination. The popular corded 12/24 HL-85-HID handheld HID spotlight version was released 2 years ago and has incorporated a vast amount of customer feedback in design, materials and form factor. The RL-85-HID builds on the success of that HID spotlight in the hunting and agricultural market by incorporating a rechargeable, replaceable battery pack. With this customer requested upgrade, the RL-85-HID spotlight is designed to have broader appeal to boaters and industrial operators looking for brighter light, long battery life and overall durability. The HL-85-HID handheld spotlight with 16 foot cord and cigarette plug and the RL-85-HID rechargeable HID spotlight are Buy American Compliant.
"In response to customer demand, we added an easy to change lithium ion battery to our most popular handheld 12/24 volt HID spotlight," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronic' larsonelectronics.com. "With extra batteries in hand, operators can have one battery charging while they use another. In the same way people change out batteries in a cordless tool and keep working, the RL-85-HID spotlight keeps delivering 3200 a bright white beam to 3000 feet. This rechargeable HID spotlight uses lightweight lithium ion battery packs to deliver 2.5 hours of run time per charge. There are no memory issues, so each battery can be charged as little or as much as the operator has time for. The spotlight is easy to hold, well balanced and features a non-slip grip. Just like our corded HL-85-HID spotlight, the operator can turn the lens/reflector head to adjust the beam from spot to flood. While we see application for the hunters, we see the RL-85-HID being a fit for boaters and industrial operators, who have asked for rechargeable versions of this popular high powered spotlight."
Larson Electronics brand encompasses handheld spotlights, explosion proof lighting and a wider variety of permanent and portable LED lighting for industrial, military and outdoor applications.

Hey HSPA+ 42Mbps doubters, RootMetrics says learn to love your T-Mobile 4G network because it's pretty damn good. According to their study, T-Mobile is closer to AT&T's LTE network than you might expect and definitely belongs in the top tier with Verizon's and AT&T's LTE networks. Their most recent study took a look at 42 markets for a combined 320,000 drive and indoor location data tests, using off-the-shelf consumer phones you can already buy from your carrier.
In order for a carrier to qualify as above the "upper threshold" in each market, the carrier had to deliver download speeds above 3Mbps in at least 70% of the tests for a given market. At that speed, it would take 10 minutes or less to download a 30-minute television show in standard definition and 10 seconds or less to download a music file. The "lower threshold" shows a carriers download speeds of at least 1.5% in at least 60% of the tests in a given market. The "middle path" indicates the percentage of markets in which a carrier neither exceeded the upper threshold nor fell below the lower threshold.
As for Cricket, MetroPCS and Sprint? They didn't even close to the scores obtained by AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Sprint fell beneath the lower threshold in 23 out of 42 markets for a percentage of 55%.
So how did RootMetrics rank all the carriers?
but how will that change after sprint rolls out phase two of their lte?
Sure….. it will. I wont hold my breath though.
It will probably put us in 4th place until we roll out our LTE. When that happens, we will have the fastest 4G available at 72Mbps. …and big time bragging rights.
What about the HSPA+ 84 they have talked about? Whenever that comes around, it will blow everything away unless everyone else steps it up by then.
They scrapped the 84 in favor of LTE.
Hopefully we will have at least a couple years in the lead with LTE before the top 3 advance past us again.
Neville Ray said this earlier in the year, there is a lack of hardware support for 84 and it doesn't make sense from an investment standpoint when LTE is clearly the smart road to take.
As much as they scrapped HSPA+ 84, didn't they say that they are still evaluating implementing it?
No, they haven't made any such announcements. 84 for now may function as an alternative to LTE when LTE isn't available. It may replace 2G/Edge.
I believe it's 75mbps like verizon, right?
I don't think Sprint's LTE will turn any heads. Apparently it's going to be 5x5mhz implementation where Tmo, Vz, att, will all be doing 10x10mhz because they have more spectrum for LTE.
I'm glad we're going LTE.
TMO is the Corvette of the wireless industry…best bang for the buck.
Then Porsche and Ferrari will burn our asses.
And the new ZR1 kills all of them….
IP Multimedia Subsystem is indeed VoLTE.
why are people so excited about LTE? so we can have two half assed 4g networks that will never reach past the major cities. getting kind of tired being on edge.
I hope your sitting in the middle of a major city otherwise good luck not only with the 4G but with a signal!
I now know what is like to be one of the 2 percent.

Well, firstly let me reassure you that the French conveyancing system is very well organised and secure. There is no equivalent of reported problems with non existent title deeds (such as in Cyprus) or invalid planning permissions (such as in Spain).
• When visiting a property that you may consider buying, take time to walk around the boundaries. Are they clearly marked by fences, hedges or walls? Is there any evidence of a well worn track leading across the land? This could indicate the existence of a right of way in favour of a neighbouring property or farm.
• Look at access to the property. Is the access to the property directly off a public road or is there a private track over which you may need a right of way? If unsure, this should be checked.
• Always ask questions about the foul drainage system especially in rural areas. If the property is not connected to mains drainage, a seller is required to produce a report giving details of the individual drainage system and whether it complies with current requirements. The report must be no more than 3 years old when the property is sold.
• Has the property been extended or is it a conversion from a former agricultural building? In either case, it is important to check what planning permission was required for the work and whether all requisite consents and certificates of conformity were obtained.
• If the property is less than 10 years old, there should be an insurance guarantee in respect of the structure and major works. You should seek confirmation that there is a valid insurance policy (or the remaining portion of it) available for you to claim against in the event of a defect arising linked to the construction.
• Another question which it is often useful to ask is why are the sellers selling? Is there some hidden or undisclosed reason for the sale such as noisy neighbours, a nearby factory that you weren't aware of or perhaps clay pigeon shooting takes place on the neighbouring land every weekend! If the previous owner has died or if the current owners are divorcing, this can lead to delays in the transaction and so it is best to know all the facts at the outset.
• If the property you are considering buying is an apartment or is part of a complex with shared facilities, there will be a legal structure in place known as "une copropriété" (a co-ownership). All owners have voting rights and are entitled to attend an Annual General Meeting of the co-owners. It is essential to request a copy of the minutes of the last year's AGM as this will give a good indication as to whether the block or complex is well managed or alternatively is fraught with problems.
These are just a few pointers. There are plenty more… The best advice is to ask lots of questions and if possible, revisit the property on several occasions so as to have time to carry out a close inspection before signing on the dotted line!
This article is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal, or other professional advice. We advise you to seek professional advice before acting on this information.

Without a governing body overseeing the category, different rum producers have their own rules and regulations about how it is made – but the one thing we can agree on is that it is the spirit distilled from the fermented sugars derived from the fresh juice or molasses extracted from the sugar cane plant.
Rum is produced primarily in countries where the climate is conducive to growing cane sugar, with more than 80 per cent of the world's rum is produced rum in the Caribbean and Latin America, but it is now also distilled everywhere from Australia to Thailand…and even Scotland.
Ian is a global ambassador for the rum category and founder of UK RumFest.

Der Canada Media Fund (CMF; französisch: Fonds des Medias du Canada (FMC); deutsch: Medienfonds Kanada) ist eine öffentlich-private Partnerschaft, die am 1. April 2010 vom Department of Canadian Heritage (frz. Patrimoine canadien) und der kanadischen Kabelindustrie ins Leben gerufen wurde. Offizielle Mission des Canada Media Fund ist die "Förderung, Entwicklung und Finanzierung der Produktion kanadischer [Medien-] Inhalte und relevanter Anwendungen".
Finanzierung und Verwaltungsstruktur
Der Canada Media Fund finanziert sich, im Auftrag der Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC), aus Beiträgen kanadischer Rundfunkvertriebsunternehmen (Broadcast Distribution Undertakings, kurz BDUs) sowie aus Fördergeldern der kanadischen Bundesregierung. Gemäß der CRTC müssen kanadische BDUs fünf Prozent ihrer Einnahmen in den Fonds einbringen.
Jährlich kommt es zu Förderungen im Gegenwert von rund 350 Millionen US-Dollar, die kanadischen Medienproduktionen und der kanadischen Medienbranche zugutekommen. Während politische Entscheidungen, Forschung und Kommunikation dem Canada Media Fund vorbehalten bleiben, obliegt die Verwaltung von Förderungsanträgen der zur Telefilm Canada gehörenden "CMF Program Administration" (deutsch: CMF-Programmverwaltung).
Geschichte
Die Gründung des Canada Media Fund wurde am 9. März 2009 vom damaligen kanadischen Kulturminister James Moore in einer Rede angekündigt und er nahm am 1. April 2010 seine Arbeit auf. Laut Moore würde der Fonds "mit Investitionen in Rundfunk und interaktive digitale Medien" dazu beitragen, "die Wettbewerbsbedingungen in einer Zeit zu verbessern, in der sich die Branche im Strukturwandel befindet" und "zur Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen beitragen". Der Fonds entstand aus der Fusion des Canadian Television Fund (CTF) und des Canada New Media Fund (CNMF).
Geförderte Produktionen
Encore+
Im Jahr 2017 startete der Canada Media Fund den YouTube-Kanal "encoreplusmedia", kurz Encore+, in Zusammenarbeit mit Google Canada, Bell Media, BroadbandTV, Deluxe Toronto und Telefilm Canada.

The pattern of a salvo in range is the distance measured parallel to the line of fire between the shortest shot of the salvo and the longest shot, excluding wild shots. In deflection it is the distance measured at right angles to the line of fire between the shot falling or bursting farthest right and the shot falling or bursting farthest left, excluding wild shots.
The mean point of impact (MPI) is the geometric center of the points of impact of the various shots of a salvo, excluding wild shots.
A wild shot is a shot with an abnormally large dispersion in range, or deflection, or both.
The dispersion of a shot is the distance of the point of impact of that shot from the MPI of the salvo.
Dispersion in range is measured parallel to the line of fire, and in deflection at right angles to the line of fire in a horizontal plane.
Dispersion in range is positive when the shot falls beyond the MPI. Dispersion in deflection is positive when the shot falls to the right of the MPI.
The algebraic sum of the dispersions in range (or deflection) of the several shots of a salvo must equal zero.
The apparent mean dispersion of a salvo in range (or deflection) is the arithmetical average of the dispersion in range (or deflection) of the several shots of the salvo, excluding wild shots.
The true mean dispersion is the arithmetical mean of the dispersions in range (or deflection) of an infinite number of shots, all assumed to have been fired under conditions as nearly the same as possible and excluding wild shots.

Le col de Vergio (en corse Bocca à Verghju) est un col de Corse entre Corte et Vico. Il relie ainsi Albertacce dans le Niolo (En-Deçà-des-Monts) à Évisa dans les Deux-Sevi (Au-Delà-des-Monts). Il est le col routier le plus haut de l'île.
Il est, avec les cols de Vizzavona, Verde et Bavella, l'un des quatre « grands cols » de Corse, permettant de relier les deux versants de l'île par l'intérieur.
Géographie
Situé dans la partie occidentale du parc naturel régional de Corse, le col de Vergio fait communiquer la vallée du Golo avec celle du Porto, et par suite le Centre de la Corse (Centru di Corsica), le nord et l'est de l'île (Bastia avec le golfe de Porto.
D'une altitude de , il est le plus haut col de Corse. Il est situé sur une arête entre la Punta de Cricche () du massif du Cinto au nord et Capu a Rughja () du massif du Rotondo au sud-est.
Les deux versants du col sont boisés : la forêt de Valdu Niellu et la forêt d'Aïtone, toutes deux forêts territoriales, comptent parmi les plus vastes de l'île. Si le col lui-même est dénudé car balayé par les vents d'Ouest dominants, ses abords rocailleux sont couverts de pins larici (pinu lariciu ou pinu larice ou a large en langue corse), de hêtres (faiu ou faghu) et de genévriers nains (ghjinarga ou saina).
Il est franchi par la route départementale 84, artère désenclavant le Niolo et passant par les remarquables sites que sont le défilé de la Scala di Santa Regina à l'Est et les Gorges de Spelunca à l'Ouest. Le col est franchissable toute l'année. L'hiver le PC Neige de Corte informe les usagers de la route qui veulent franchir le col. Ce sont les services de l'Équipement de Corte qui assurent le déneigement des routes côté Haute-Corse.
Le col est aussi traversé par le sentier de grande randonnée Mare a mare Nord, reliant Evisa à Albertacce les deux villages les plus proches. D'autres sentiers partant du col permettent de rejoindre le GR 20. Une buvette, installée durant la bonne saison, permet aux visiteurs et randonneurs de se désaltérer.
Histoire
Le col de Vergio est dominé par la statue du Christ Roi, monolithe de granit rose pesant , haut de - avec son socle). Cette statue monumentale est l'œuvre du sculpteur corse Noël Bonardi. Elle orne le col depuis 1984.
Activités
Le col de Vergio est un remarquable poste de guet. Durant toute la période critique de lutte contre les incendies, des agents du parc naturel régional de Corse et des deux départements de Haute-Corse et de Corse-du-Sud (sapeurs-forestiers de l'ONF) assument en permanence des missions de surveillance des deux vallées, chacun pour ce qui le concerne.
L'été venu, des cyclistes étrangers, surtout italiens, sont nombreux à monter et descendre du col de Vergio sur Évisa en passant par la forêt d'Aïtone car le parcours moins pentu, est ombragé, frais et peu fréquenté par les véhicules.
À environ sous le col, sur son versant oriental, au lieu-dit Castellu di Vergio, se trouve la station de ski de Vergio. Sur l'autre versant, en descendant sur Évisa, le village de vacances d'Aïtone (Paesolu d'Aïtone) ouvre des pistes de ski de fond en hiver.

Lacquedotto della Romagna è l'infrastruttura di approvvigionamento idrico delle province romagnole. È stata la più costosa opera pubblica realizzata in Romagna nel XX secolo.
Ha una condotta principale di 33 chilometri, capace di 3000 litri al secondo. È gestito da Romagna Acque S.p.A. e raggiunge cinquanta comuni tra Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena, Rimini e la Repubblica di San Marino. In tutto, fornisce acqua a circa un milione di persone.
Costruzione
Alla metà del XX secolo la popolazione romagnola soffriva già la carenza di acqua potabile. Cominciò ad avvertirsi la necessità di un'opera idrica. Negli anni 1960 lo sviluppo dell'industria accrebbe ulteriormente il fabbisogno d'acqua e quindi rese improcrastinabile la costruzione di una diga.
Venne ripreso un piano elaborato negli anni 1930 dal «Consorzio di bonifica Forlì-Predappio», che prevedeva la costruzione di una grande diga ad uso idroelettrico. La destinazione d'uso fu corretta per un uso potabile delle acque. Le province di Ravenna e Forlì (che all'epoca si estendeva fino a Cattolica) si unirono nel «Consorzio acque per le province di Forlì e Ravenna». Entrarono nel consorzio anche diversi Comuni interessati.
Il Consorzio scelse il sito di Ridracoli, località posta a 476 metri di altitudine, situata a circa 50 km dal capoluogo Forlì, nella valle del Bidente, come luogo di realizzazione dell'infrastruttura. Il progetto dell'acquedotto di Romagna era già pronto nei primi anni sessanta, ma la costruzione di una diga incontrò voci contrarie, che avvertirono il pericolo che si ripetesse il disastro del Vajont. Gli oppositori ritenevano sufficiente l'approvvigionamento di acqua potabile dalle falde. Vennero fatte anche delle controproposte, tra cui una che prevedeva di fare bere ai romagnoli l'acqua del fiume Po.
Il Consorzio effettuò ingenti spese per dimostrare che la roccia dell'area di Ridracoli era adatta a sostenere il peso di un invaso d'acqua. La Regione venne incontro ai promotori predisponendo un progetto di legge con il quale finanziare la progettazione e costruzione della diga.
Nel 1974 si concluse la progettazione dell'opera idrica. L'anno seguente vennero avviati i lavori di costruzione, i quali procedettero speditamente. In soli sei anni, tra il 1982 ed il 1988, vennero progettate, finanziate, appaltate e realizzate infrastrutture imponenti quali:
le due gallerie in roccia della lunghezza di 13 km,
la centrale idroelettrica di Isola, frazione di Santa Sofia, realizzata dall'Enel su concessione del Consorzio,
l'impianto di potabilizzazione di Capaccio (località di Santa Sofia) da 3600 l/s (3,6 tonnellate),
la condotta principale, lunga 33 km e del diametro di 1400 mm,
i serbatoi di carico a monte Casale di Bertinoro da 60.000 metri cubi e quello di Forlì da 10.000,
la prima parte delle due condotte dorsali di distribuzione, rispettivamente di 1200 e 800 mm di diametro.
Ai costi di allora si trattò di opere per circa 400 miliardi di lire.
L'acquedotto della Romagna venne inaugurato il 9 aprile 1988 con una doppia cerimonia, alla diga di Ridracoli e in comune a Forlì, presenti l'allora presidente del Senato, Giovanni Spadolini insieme con varie autorità civili, religiose e militari.
Nel 1994 il Consorzio venne trasformato in società per azioni a capitale pubblico e modificò la ragione sociale in «Romagna Acque - Società delle Fonti S.p.A.».
Oggi l'opera assicura l'approvvigionamento d'acqua potabile ai Comuni romagnoli con un funzionamento ininterrotto da vari decenni.

The men that have dedicated their lives to this sport over the years have done so to not only to win a trophy and prize money but to also prove themselves as the finest physical specimen alive, which takes huge amounts of discipline.
Building a flawless physique with perfect symmetry and god-like definition takes a huge amount of time and patience, not to mention the necessary stomach for intense bouts of exercise up to 3 or 4 times a day.
The likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronnie Coleman, Lee Haney, Dorian Yates and Jay Cutler have all managed to win the title on multiple occasions and cement their place in history, but most recently Phil Heath has dominated the event, winning the last 7 in a row.
Heath was once again the favourite to defend his title going into the 2018 competition, up against other huge names including Roelly Winklaar, Brandon Curry, Big Ramy and Shawn Rhoden.
'The Gift' has taken on all comers and emerged victorious in recent times, but could he do it for a record-equalling 8th time in Las Vegas?
The trouble with being the best is that you become a target for the rest of your rivals, the man everyone wants to beat at all costs.
Read on to find out if Heath managed to stay out in front, or whether a new king emerged last weekend.
With a whopping $400,000 up for grabs for this year's winner, the line-up for the 2018 tournament re-united some of the biggest names in the business.
Rami was touted as the biggest threat to Heath's title in the build-up but it became clear very quickly that this was not going to be a two-horse race from the outset by any means.
Winklaar and Roden came out strongly on the first day, the former making big improvements around the midriff and the latter looking almost flawless across the board, which was an ominous sign of things to come.
Unfortunately for Rami, he seemed to get his tactics all wrong and was holding far too much water in the first stage of the competition, which effectively ruined the big man's chances of a podium finish.
Bonac and Curry emerged as early contenders too, while Heath seemed to be looking more bloated than usual in the early rounds of the competition.
The infamous 'GH gut' has been much maligned in the sport over the last few years, with judges now more inclined to mark down any athletes who neglect to refine their abdominal definition sufficiently.
The issue would be an even bigger topic of discussion on Day 2 of the Olympia, as the business end of the event began in earnest. As the competition drew to a close after a tense few hours of posing and flexing in front of a packed audience, two men were called back out in front of the judges to be scrutinised more closely.
Heath and Rhoden went toe to toe on the centre of the stage and each man's strengths and weaknesses became clearer for all to see, with so much on the line. The Gift had the edge with his gargantuan shoulders and perfectly proportioned back, however, Rhoden was clearly in better shape in the lower body and around the midsection.
A runner-up in 2016, fans of Rhoden might have been forgiven for thinking that the 43-year-old had missed his opportunity, but when the final announcement was made, the oldest ever winner of the Olympia was confirmed.
Heath's induction into the hall of fame will have to wait for at least another year after Rhoden was crowned the 14th winner of the competition in his 7th appearance.
The 7-time winner still received $150,000 for his efforts, but the disappointment of this defeat was etched all over his face, as Rhoden celebrated a well-deserved victory in front of a rapturous live audience.
Rhoden expressed his joy at the final result when addressing the media after winning the Mr Olympia title, stating: "This means so much to me.
"I have been working so hard to get to this point, and my team has been with me every step of the way.
They have really worked me over to get me to where I am tonight and I am so grateful.
The Gift meanwhile, was in a reflective mood in the days after the result, after congratulating his opponent on a famous victory.
"Well first off I will congratulate the new champ Shawn Rhoden on a job well done," Heath began. "I wanna thank you all and I mean all of you even the ones who wished for my downfall because deep down we all in this together.
"Being on top for 7 straight years is a long damn time so imma relish in that, spend time with my own thoughts and continue to give all Honor to God because He has definitely provided me an incredible life that many of you have been apart of.
The 2019 Mr Olympia now looks set to be an even more thrilling spectacle, with so many athletes improving fast and others with a point to prove after a below-par showing this time around.
Heath dropping to his knees when the final announcement was made last weekend will be the lasting image from the 2018 competition, as the perennial champion finally tasted defeat after so long at the top of the Bodybuilding castle.
But all the credit should go to Rhoden, who proved that age is just a number and produced the best performance of his entire career to put his name up in lights and nail down his own legacy in the sport.
Winklaar will no doubt continue to improve, having returned to the stage in better condition than ever before and don't write off Rami just yet after his latest setback.
The big man, whose real name is Mamdouh Elssbiay, was carrying far too much weight to finish in the top 5 this time around, but he will learn from his mistakes and likely come back even stronger next year.
The future looks bright for this sport after one of the most dramatic finales in years and with a new name etched into the Sandow Trophy, the competition has been blown wide open ahead of next year's event, as the profile of Bodybuilding continues to grow exponentially all around the world.

Pilot Preston tram line due for APPROVAL after years of rejection
Posted on - 1st November, 2016 - 7:00am | Author - Ed Walker | Posted in - Business, Deepdale, Preston Council, Preston News, St Matthews, Transport
One of the trams which could come to Preston, and an artist impression of the Deepdale station
It's been forever delayed but it looks like Preston's much talked about tram system could be getting a green light.
Trampower has applied to run a test line in Deepdale using a section of the former Longridge-Preston railway line.
A number of previous attempts to restart Preston's tram system have been blocked by Preston City Council's planning committee.
Now planning officers have given their backing to the latest proposal for the pilot station and line off Deepdale Street in the St Matthews ward.
The tramway would pass close to homes in Deepdale Road, Lincoln Street, Peel Hall Street and Castleton Road.
Tramway's plans state the test line would operate 9.30am-11.30am, 1.30pm-3.30pm and 6.30pm-9pm on Mondays to Fridays and 10am-7pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
Objections to the tram have come from nearby residents, who state the traffic survey undertaken was not adequate as it does not take into account the traffic from nearby Muslim schools in Peel Hall Street.
Five letters of support have also been tabled, with one declaring 'the Trampower scheme could signal that Preston is open for investment'.
Professor Lewis Lesley, the man behind the scheme, said: "Trampower welcomes the recommendation to the Planning Committee to approve its application to build a tram depot and reactivate the overgrown railway tracks as a tramway.
"There is still a lot to do but this is an important first step. Other cities have got the benefit of a tramways; less traffic, congestion and pollution. The letters of support to the committee are most welcome, and we hope that by opening in stages a modern and sustainable tramway, will make the people of Preston proud. We also know that on the strength of the Guild tramway, new confidence will bring extra investment and economic regeneration to the City."
Planning officers state in their report to councillors: "Objections and letters of support have been received and the issues raised have been taken into consideration.
"Although the proposal would result in the loss of employment land and would not strictly comply with Development Plan policies in this regard, it is considered that the principle of the use can be supported at this location.
"The proposal would not create a commercial operating tramway, but solely permit a pilot project tramway.
"Any commercial tramway would require consent under the Transport and Works Act. Therefore, subject to conditions specific to a pilot project tramway, this nature of proposal would not have a severe impact upon the highway network.
"It is considered that the proposed hours of use of the development would be acceptable, and that subject to conditions the proposal would also be acceptable in terms of design and layout and impact upon heritage assets."

Your view on trams in Preston
Preston's planning committee – who have rejected the plans for trams a number of times – are due to meet on Thursday (10 November) from 1.30pm at the Town Hall to consider the latest proposal.

Being littered with mosquito bites and covered in a not-so-attractive shade of calamine lotion may not be the summer you were hoping for. We seem to be a mosquito's favourite meal during summer, which can easily become quite stressful.
Luckily there are a handful of prevention techniques you can use to help prevent mosquitoes in your home, letting you enjoy the long summer evenings in your garden in peace.
Without further adieu here is a list of 7 simple tips to prevent mosquitoes in your home.
Regularly maintain your garden and lawn keeping the grass short to around 6cms in height and keep plants and bushes trimmed neat and tidy. Long grass and plants provide mosquitoes with great spots to rest and survive the hot temperatures, so getting your green fingers out is a great way to prevent them!
Mosquitoes aren't the strongest flyers. Using fans can help force them out of the room and make it very difficult for them to fly. These marvelous inventions, be it ceiling, desk and tower fans can help repel them.
Mosquitoes search for bodies of water to lay their eggs. It's best to remove water found in buckets, drains, kiddie pools, watering cans etc. and make your home and garden less attractive to these pesky biting insects.
While we are on the subject of standing water, we must not forget bird baths. Cleaning the bird bath regularly and replacing the water once a week can help prevent these biting insects.
They do look beautiful, but the downside is they provide mosquitoes with a great place to breed.
If standing water attracts mosquitoes then what about ponds?
Ponds do provide mosquitoes with another opportunity to lay their eggs, but luckily, mosquitoes aren't big fans of laying their eggs in moving water. To prevent your pond from transforming into a maternity ward for mosquitoes, installing a fountain or a water agitator will help prevent them in your garden.
You guessed it! Pet water dishes are another source of water for mosquitoes to lay their eggs in your home and garden.
It's important to ensure that your pets always have some water to drink when they are parched, but this can also attract mosquitoes. Have no fear though as changing the water regularly in their dish will keep these blood suckers away!
When it's baking hot outside, it's tempting to open windows and doors to let fresh air into your home. Unfortunately, this can create an open invitation for mosquitoes to enter your home.
Installing fine mesh screens which are bug resistant can help block off the easy entrance points for mosquitoes whilst also letting you keep that cool breezy run through your home.
Just a heads up, these home remedies for mosquitoes in this blog aren't a foolproof solution to fully exterminate these biting insects. If you have a mosquito problem, your best option is to contact a professional pest controller to control the issue in your home.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Saturday August 28, 2010 will go down in history as the start of a great awakening. America is a great country, the greatest civilization has ever known. The only country where man has been truly free. The problem is, we have lost our way.
Our Founding Fathers based this nation, and it's Constitution on the fact we all have certain unalienable rights granted to us by our creator. Unlike other nations before, or since, our Constitution was designed to restrain government and protect our God given rights, in order to maintain Liberty and Freedom.
Over the last 100 years, as the Marxist-progressive movement gained more and more control over government, we have seen our rights eroded, and our First Principles ignored. In order for the Marxist-progressives to be successful, they had to work at eroding the morals of the American people. They also had to get God, and any mention of God, out of the public square. To the Statist, Government replaces God. Man replaces God.
Sadly, the left has been most successful at this. As such, we have lost our way.
People who regularly watch Glenn Beck know that he is a man on a mission. Besides his regular weekly show, where he has been doing an amazing job of exposing the corruption that IS the Obama regime, Glenn devotes his Friday show towards educating Americans of their real history.
Glenn has re-introduced America to our leaders. He's also setting the record straight, correcting the lies Marxist-progressives, who control much of education, thus what is taught as historical fact have been teaching. Glenn has introduced a whole new generation to our real history.
Glenn has had several Black history days, as well as Black leadership forums, including ones our friends Adrienne Ross and Clifton B have participated in. He's had Hispanic forums as well.
The point is, America needs to not only learn the truth about it's roots, but get back to them. This Restoring Honor rally is yet another step toward this. Though official numbers aren't out yet, knowing that the area around the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial holds 250,000 people, and the field beside it holds 350,000, both were full, and people overflowed all around, gives us some idea. So far estimates are from a low of 500,000 to a high of 1 million.
We weren't able to attend, but did watch the event live courtesy of C-Span. It was the most moving event I have witnessed in quite some time. Beck promised the event would be non-political, and kept his word. He also request that attendees bring no signs, but bring their children. That's exactly what they did.
Glenn had some amazing guests, including Sarah Palin, who was there not as our leader, but as the mother of a soldier. She told the story of three remarkable heroes and introduced them to the crowd. Dr Alveda King, Dr Martin Luther King's niece was also there, and gave her own "I have a dream" speech that was amazing.
If you missed the event, we have video, courtesy of The Right Scoop. This truly is must see TV:
For a higher quality version, you can check out C-span here.
Of course, none of this was without controversy. In fact, the left and the media (same thing) lost it's mind. The same people who are begging for tolerance for the radical Muslims who want to build the 9/11 Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, were outraged that the Restoring Honor rally was allowed to happen.
As this was the anniversary of Dr King's "I have a dream" speech, a date Beck insists was a coincidence, the radical left was uniquely indignant. How dare all of these Americans talk about Faith, Hope, and Charity, as well as the content of character on the date of a speech that called for all men to be judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin!
Race hustler Al Sharpton threw a counter event, but almost no one showed up. It was nothing more than a hate fest declaring the Restoring Honor rally was "stealing King's legacy." If that sounds familiar, it's basically the same argument the radical feminists trot out against Sarah Palin, claiming she's trying to hijack feminism. The left only has one very small playbook.
Below is a video from Reason TV with host Nick Gillespie. It's exactly what you expect it to be, but a little more fair than most reporting. I only include it because at one point Gillespie encounters a Black woman and acts stupidly. The best part is when he refers to her as an "African-American." It's truly worth watching just for her response. She is an AMERICAN and makes that point quite clear!
I made the mistake of flipping over to CNN, as Fox wasn't carrying the rally live, and I was quite curious at how the far left would cover this thing. (MSNBC was AWOL) I tuned in as Sarah Palin was speaking, but since all she was talking about was honor and heroism, that wasn't working for the network.
Hilariously, a little later on, as Reverend C.L. Jackson from Houston, Texas was giving an amazing speech, instead of showing it, the CNN anchorette chose instead to go to their on ground "reporter" who spent the whole time talking about how there were nothing but a lot of white folks there!
The "whole lot of white folks" was a theme for all of the coverage, just as it is a staple for any coverage of Tea Party events, including those headlined by Black conservatives. It's quite shameful. But par for the course.
Jim Treacher over at the Daily Caller complied a sampling of the biased coverage from the usual suspects that you can see here.
For a photo slideshow of the event go here.
Oh, and remember CNN? Not only are the biased hacks over there, their graphics department ain't too hot either, as the folks at SondraK point out.
In closing, Beck's Restoring Honor rally is yet another sign that America is in the middle of a great awakening. More Americans than ever before are engaged in what is going on around them. They are paying attention.They are taking action.
Folks understand now where the wheels started coming off the wagon. Now they are actively working to set things right again. Glenn is playing a big roll in this. His "Founders Fridays" are a must see if you want to learn some real history, and understand how the left has perverted that history for their own gain.
Our Friends over at The Right Scoop archive Beck's show daily, so a little hunting though their website and you can catch up on any "Founders Friday" you have missed. It is worth the effort to do so.

Highlights a brain MRI comparison between those who received a recorded visual/audio and those who witness first hand in person. To no shock those who received firsthand exposure registered higher levels of brain activity than those who did not. Pinker's last and possibly most striking example is that of the female Baboon and how those studied which exhibited exposure to a "core group" of friends, specifically over 3, were most likely to life longer, have lower cortisol levels, and have more babies. As observed in nature, the simple utilization of "close" relationships" and high "societal integration" can make or break lives. Pinker concludes by providing the audience the fact that there are the "lowest rates for dementia among those who engage socially" and the assertion that "building your village and sustaining it is a matter of life and death" (Pinker).

Q: SQL Server Management Studio does NOT let me create multiple foreign keys to multiple primary keys I have a table ApplicationRegion in a one-to-many relationship to Translation.
I want to set FK's from Translation.appname/isocode to ApplicationRegion.appname/isocode
But that did not work as you can see from the screenshot.
When the FK configure window opens 3 columns are shown on the left/right side
appname
isocode
resourcekey
Then I chose as parent table ApplicationRegion and removed the resource key column from the FK setting.
And clicked OK but then I got the error you see on the screenshot.
Finally I made it work with that workaround and I would like to know why I had to use this workaround?
*
*Remove PK from Translation.ResourceKey column
*Open FK configure window
*Only 2 columns appear now as foreign keys
*I click OK
*Now I add the PK again to Translation.ResouceKey column
*I added test data to all 3 tables and everything is fine.
WHY this workaround?
UPDATE
HAHA...
A: I think you must have hit a weird glitch in SSMS. I was able to create your schema using SSMS 2014 without any errors. It did pre-fill the three composite primary key columns when adding the new FK. I was careful to make sure they were all blanked out before I started to add the two columns in the FK. Maybe SSMS thought one of the blank rows still had data in it.
Edit: Just had one more thought, SSMS is know for caching any changes that are made when editing a table. For example, if you go to modify two tables and have both edit windows open. Then you change the PK in one window and then try to reference it in the second window, it will error because it has cached what the schema was for the first table when the window was first opened.
Here is my generated DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AppRegion](
[appname] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[isocode] [char](5) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AppRegion] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[appname] ASC,
[isocode] ASC
)
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Translation](
[ResourceKey] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL,
[appname] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[isocode] [char](5) NOT NULL,
[text] [nvarchar](400) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Translation] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ResourceKey] ASC,
[appname] ASC,
[isocode] ASC
)
) ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Translation] ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Translation_AppRegion] FOREIGN KEY([appname], [isocode])
REFERENCES [dbo].[AppRegion] ([appname], [isocode])

The Kendal Difference
The renowned "Kendal spirit" is attributable to Kendal residents, who design and direct the recreational, intellectual, social and spiritual life of their community. Kendal residents and staff contribute expertise and thousands of hours of their time each year to support education and wellness efforts in their larger communities.

RFE/RL: Nephew of Russian propagandist Kiselyov on trial in Germany over Ukraine war (Video)
10:15, 28 February 2019
Investigators say Kisseljow, 48, went through military training in the Russian city of St. Petersburg in August 2014.
The verdict on Kisseljow is expected on Friday, March 1, 2019 / Screenshot
A nephew of Dmitry Kiselyov, a Russian state media boss known for fiery anti-Western diatribes, is on trial in Germany on a charge of planning to take part in military activities alongside Russia-backed troops fighting Kyiv's forces in eastern Ukraine.
A court in Munich opened the trial of Kiselyov's nephew, a German citizen whose name was spelled Sergej Kisseljow by German media, on February 27, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) said.

He is accused of the preparation of a crime threatening a sovereign country's state security and illegally possessing firearms. German citizens can be prosecuted and punished for this crime, including in cases in which it is committed outside the country.
German authorities began investigations against Kisseljow in late 2017, and he was detained in Bulgaria several months later and deported to Germany.
According to Ukraine's TV news service TSN, the verdict is expected on Friday, March 1, 2019.
Kisseljow's uncle Dmitry Kiselyov said earlier that his nephew would be facing trial in Germany for fighting against Ukrainian armed forces in Ukraine's east.
Dmitry Kiselyov, head of the state-owned media company Rossia Segodnya, is best known for the propaganda against Washington and the West that he issues frequently on the weekly news show he hosts.

What does the future of journalism look like? What's next for media? The Nation asks a range of journalists and media makers to tell us what they predict.
David Schimke spent ten years working for Village Voice Media as a staff writer, managing editor and media columnist. In this interview, he brings his perspective on alternative media, local reporting and "alt weeklies" to the series. Schimke stresses the role of the trained citizen journalist in shaping future coverage–and how mainstream reporters should learn to stray beyond the press conference model of news. The media landscape is expanding, and Schimke worries that writers won't expand their scope alongside that, sticking to the world of e-mail interviews that don't capture the entire situation.
For full-size video, click here.
Anna Marie Cox speaks at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the future of journalism and what it means for young writers. Cox reflects on her experiences during the 2008 presidential election and proposes that we might see an influx of reporters that are hired by specific candidates to do opposition research and reporting.
John Nichols speaks as part of a panel discussion at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the disconnect between old media models and a nonfunctional new media model for producing journalism. Nichols evokes history in noting that when our country was founded media was heavily subsidized by the government, and he proposes this as a model to strive for. Nichols is the co-author of The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution That Will Begin the World Again.
Jane Mayer discusses the issues that come up when working on stories that fall under the category of "national security." Speaking at The Nation's "What Will Become of Media" salon in the fall of 2009, she discusses the lingering chill of 9/11 on journalistic freedom and freedom of the press, highlighting the risks faced by anonymous sources and whistleblowers.
In another segment from Nation salon "What Will Become of Media?" Jane Mayer offers a perspective on the troubling losses in the field of investigative reporting. Investigative reporting, which is a slow, expensive undertaking, has become a "luxury item" for many outlets, says Mayer. In 2003, 1000 foreign reporters were covering the Iraq war, and now there are under 100. "There used to be dozens of American reporters in Cairo," says Mayer, "and now there are two–one from the New York Times, and one from the LA Times." There is "so much more pressure on people who are still there, to write faster, write more, write cheaper stories." Investigative reporting, too, requires taking chances: "You don't always get what you're going for," Mayer explains.
Nick Penniman speaks at the 2009 Nation/Campus Progress Student Journalism Conference about the impending chaotic media landscape. Penniman predicts that in ten years major media outlets won't dominate the conversation and instead smaller, independent outlets will have more of a voice. Unfortunately, this positive step will be matched with an even greater influx of gossipy, fluff content, as opposed to in-depth, thoughtful reporting.
Mark Luckie thinks that interaction will be key for future business models in media–involving what the user thinks not only in choosing your story but in packaging the story to provide the reader with more than just words. The people who affect the news, he argues, will not only just be those in the press room but the citizens speaking up, asking questions and getting answers.
to be willing to fight for it and, yes, take political risks.
Dan Rather weighs in on the positives and negatives of transitioning predominantly to online media. Speaking at The Nation's "What Will Become of Media" salon in the fall of 2009, he also recommends some books on the future of journalism that he thinks everyone should read.
"You're going to have to know how to do everything," says student journalist Sahara White at The Nation and Campus Progress's Annual Student Journalism Conference, which students attended through the efforts of Campus Progress. Audio, video, photos, blogs–all will be part of the future of the media. But journalism programs haven't yet adapted their programs, students say. "What the mainstream is will change," says Easter Wood.

Nike Sportswear continues their newly coined "Force Is Female" adage this season by introducing stark monochromes to the very subversive 1Reimagined pack. Throwing all conventions of the Air Force 1 design out of the window, the Rebel moves the standard lace location to the rear of its high-top type. A corset look is achieved with a staggered pattern to the eyelets, looping to ankle lugs – meaning the system actually works. This exposes the "tongue" in its smooth leather finish and aids with cradling the foot. The rest of the shoe maintains the feel of the Air Force 1, namely the Air midsole and general panelling. This is an Air Force 1 for those who choose to Rebel.

Motorsport: Ferrari reveals its new F1 challenger
Plus results from WRC in Sweden and Formula E in Mexico.
1 / 6 photos
Is this the car to end Mercedes-AMG's Formula One domination?
Ferrari unveiled its 2019 F1 racer over the weekend, the SF90, and completed a shakedown at Spain's Barcelona circuit on Sunday, prior to official testing beginning on Monday (European time).
The Italian team is so determined to break its world championship drought it has finished the car in a new matte red paint job which the team claims saves "a few hundred grams" in weight over a gloss coat.
The team has also installed a new team principal with former technical boss, Mattia Binotto, now charged with leading the team.
Motorsport: Mustang tops Supercar test
"We are here to compete," Binotto said. "We are here to win. We have strong competitors but I think with our maximum efforts we can achieve our goal."
Sebastian Vettel has been the closest rival to Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton in recent years, but knows he still needs to improve if he wants to win his fifth world title.
"The expectations are always there to win and that's what we want to do," the German said. "We have close some years, further away some years, but I think we are getting closer."
Vettel will have a new teammate for 2019, with rising star Charles Leclerc replacing Kimi Raikkonen. Despite many pundits tipping the young Monegasque driver to give Vettel a tougher challenge than Raikkonen, Binotto indicated the team will continue to favour the German in order to maximise his and the team's title chances.
Williams also revealed its 2019 car, the FW42 (pictured, below), having previously displayed its new livery on last year's model. However, the team also announced it will miss the first day of this week's Barcelona test due to delays getting the car track-ready.
"Our absolute priority is to always ensure we bring a car to the track that is the best that it can be and sometimes that takes longer than you'd anticipate or like," explained Claire Williams, deputy team principal. "It's clearly not ideal, but equally it's not the end of the world."
WRC: Tanak takes control
Ott Tanak is out to avenge his WRC title near-miss from 2018, storming to the lead of the world championship with a dominant victory in Rally Sweden.
Finnish young gun Teemu Suninen burst into an early lead on Friday's stages in his Ford Fiesta only to get stuck in a snowbank on Saturday morning and handed Tanak a big lead.
Tanak then controlled the event in his Toyota Yaris, even winning the Power Stage to claim maximum points for the weekend. The strong performance, coupled with Rally Monte Carlo winner Sebastien Ogier also getting stuck in a snowbank on Friday, propelled Tanak into the lead of the driver's championship.
"We had a very good run and everything was working really well, so I was really comfortable in the car," Tanak said. "We have a very strong team and it's great for us to have this kind of result at the beginning of the season."
Behind Tanak, Citroen's Esapekka Lappi held off Hyundai's Thierry Nevuille for second place, but the latter claimed the second fastest time in the Power Stage which helped his title chances. Tanak holds a seven-point advantage over Neuville heading into Rally Mexico.
Formula E: Di Grassi wins Mexico thriller
Audi's Lucas di Grassi claimed victory in the Mexico City ePrix at the finish line, passing Pascal Wehrlein as the Formula E rookie ran out of electricity.
Former Mercedes F1 development driver Wehrlein was the man to beat in Mexico, claiming his first pole position for the series and leading most of the 45-lap race in his Mahindra. However, a big mid-race crash involving Nelson Piquet Jr and Jean-Eric Vergne gave di Grassi a chance to catch-up at the restart.
Former champion di Grassi used all of his experience to pressure Wehrlein until the last lap, ultimately forcing the younger driver into a mistake, running wide and cutting a corner to stay in front. But di Grassi didn't give up and maintained pressure all the way to the final corner when Wehrlein's Mahindra ran out of energy allowing the Brazilian to claim the victory.
Post-race Wehrlein was handed a five-second penalty for cutting the corner and dropped to sixth, promoting BMW's Antonio Felix da Costa to second and Venturi's Edoardo Mortara to third.
Wehrlein's Mahindra teammate Jerome d'Ambrosio was awarded fourth place and leads the driver's standings from da Costa by seven-points.
NASCAR: Hamlin wins Daytona wreck-fest
Denny Hamlin claimed an emotional victory for the Joe Gibbs Racing team in the season-opening Daytona 500.
The team is still mourning the recent passing of Joe Gibbs' son, J.D. Gibbs, who helped his father established the team and personally selected Hamlin to drive for it. J.D. died of complication for a neurological disease at only 49-years of age.
Hamlin had to avoid several large crashes throughout the race, that left just a handful of cars in contention for the final two-lap sprint to the chequered flag. Making it even more special for the team was Hamlin led teammates Kyle Busch and Eric Jones across the line for a one-two-three finish for the team.
Stephen Ottley
Stephen has been interested in cars as long as he can remember. Speed is in the blood as his great-grandfather was a motor racing pioneer in Australia, establishing several land speed and racing records. Based in Sydney, professionally he has been writing about everything on four-wheels since 2001…

East County Business News – Health tech students receive scholarships from Grossmont Healthcare District
by Rick Griffin | Jul 24, 2013 | East County Business News | 0 comments
The Grossmont Healthcare District (GHD), a public agency that supports various health-related community programs and services in San Diego's East County region, has selected two Grossmont College students for its 2013 Health Tech Career scholarships. GHD's annual scholarship program recognizes students pursuing careers in positions typically defined as medical technicians. Nancy Padilla, enrolled in Grossmont's respiratory therapy (RT) program, and Travis Nickerson, studying to work as an occupational therapy assistant (OTA), each recently received a $2,000 scholarship, as approved by GHD board members. Padilla and Nickerson, both La Mesa residents, applied for the scholarships by writing a maximum 400-word essay on the topic "where I will be in my career five years from now."
After she graduates with an associates degree from Grossmont College, planned for 2014, Padilla hopes to pursue a bachelor's degree in RT with a focus on pediatric care. She wants to help children because her son, now age 7, was born four weeks premature with underdeveloped lungs and recovered with the help of a respiratory therapy program for infants. "I almost lost him only two weeks after birth," Padilla said. "Now, I want to help educate parents and treat children who may be in the same situation that I was in when my son was in the hospital so that I can help ease their concerns and help them feel empowered and aware of how to treat this illness."
Nickerson, now in his second year in Grossmont's OTA program, wrote in his essay that he expects occupational therapy will open additional doors for him in the medical field. A graduate of Helix High School (class of 2005), Nickerson attended San Diego State University and Grossmont College until 2008, when he moved to Northern California. He returned to Grossmont in 2009 and was enrolled in OTA prerequisite classes while working at restaurants. "I come from a long line of family veterans, and I'm interested in working with veterans and the military who have been injured in war," said Nickerson. "I eventually hope to focus on amputees and prosthetic retraining as a way of giving back to those who have given some much. Everyone deserves a chance to live a fulfilled life after any tragedy, especially those who risked their lives so selflessly for the country."

In response to the letter "Truth does not matter": Generally speaking, the average Joe has no idea how the legal system works. Most of us don't know that if the district attorney's office doesn't proceed to prosecution, that does not equate to findings of "innocent" or "cleared" for the accused. It just means that the DA's office decided not to go forward for one of myriad reasons, including perhaps those politically based that have nothing to do with the accused, the victims or even the crime.
Also, when papers print that there have been "investigations," there may not have been even one formal investigation. There it is folks, your legal system.
That said, please know that I am confident that my husband would never take a case to lawsuit frivolously. He is an attorney advocating for children's rights since 1985, heart and soul. There is nothing smug about investigating and representing abused children. Ms. Wand's allegation that my husband would enter into a lawsuit for any reason other than what he believes is right and just is simply based on ignorance of the facts. My husband is a father to our two daughters first and a lawyer second. — Kathleen Petersen, Ashland
Abortion cheapens human life and teaches us that violence against the innocent is acceptable. — Drew Hymer, Medford
Friday morning, as I was reading two letters in the local paper whining about the money that was spent on a SWAT vehicle, 26-plus people (including 20 innocent children) were massacred inside an elementary school in Connecticut.
We can all argue the point of how, when and where money should be spent, and there will be as many ideas on the subject as there are people to argue the point. But can you please for one moment stop and think about the situations our police force, SWAT team members, etc., are put in? Every day these folks are put in horrible and unknown situations.
We can only hope that none of us ever have to experience what these families in Connecticut experienced Friday. I realize this special SWAT vehicle would not have prevented an act such as Friday's, but for the many tasks that our local law enforcement must face, let's at least give them the tools to perform the tasks in as safe a manner as possible. Remember, our local law enforcement members are someone's son, daughter, daddy or mommy, too. — Jon McUne, Medford
In response to everyone upset that MPD purchased a $260,000 SWAT vehicle: What price do you put on a human life? Whether the life saved is a citizen, police officer or even the suspect, attorneys would tell you $260,000 is cheap for a life or a seriously injured individual.
You can bet if MPD did not have this type of proven tool to safely resolve a tactical or high-risk search warrant situation, they would be sued and held liable for the loss of life or injury. From a risk-management perspective it was the right thing to do, but more importantly, from a humanitarian perspective it was the right thing to do.
Medford has one of the best police departments in the state, Chief George should be commended for his proactive management approach. To everyone who believes the unthinkable "couldn't happen in our small community," ask the citizens in Newtown, Conn. — Ed Mayer, Shady Cove
Frequently you print articles that only give one side of the story. It would be informative if you would seek out both sides.
One example is your frequent stories on global warming. Several years ago when the two sides debated at several conferences, the global warming scientists were proven wrong. To this day they will not show up and debate. There was a big anti-climate change conference in New York a couple years ago, and sources such as yours did not even report on it.
Read this open letter below from this Web page that's addressed to the U.N. secretary general and signed by 125 world scientists and weather experts: http://natpo.st/U2jmPN — Dan Gannon, Medford
I was proud to read the letter from Karen Jones reporting on the Phoenix Food Project's success this year. They've worked hard for their community, and so have the other four Food Projects in Jackson County: The Medford Food Project, the Ashland Food Project, the Talent Food Project and the Eagle Point Food Project.
Combined, these five all-volunteer groups collected and delivered more than 300,000 pounds of food in 2012 to 20 Jackson County food banks. On Saturday, Dec. 8, alone, they picked up and delivered more than 64,000 pounds of food.
This is especially amazing when you realize that all the food was picked up one green bag at a time, from more than 5,500 area homes. The Food Project is an inspiring example of what can happen when community members join forces to tackle community problems. Our thanks to the committed donors whose green bags of food have made such a difference. Anyone who'd like to join the effort, or learn more about it, can find information at www.neighborhoodfoodproject.org — John Javna, Ashland
"Penny wise and pound foolish," says my friend, Mel.
The Recycling Center is significant to the city of Ashland for many reasons.
It is always busy and well-run. This is not just a hippie thing, but truly represents a crucial imperative for all of us everywhere.
It has important services that are not provided anywhere else. It is convenient, easily accessed and saves Ashlanders the expense of a trip to the transfer station.
It seems that the only thing the council is concerned about is the cost, but if you really look at it, it is money well spent. — Randy Dolinger and Mel Canal, Ashland
Congress' negotiation surrounding the so-called "fiscal cliff" could have dire consequences for Southern Oregon small business owners and the economy. Small business drives local job creation. Our economy has already been hampered by a declining middle class, suffering high joblessness and wages that do not go up, which leaves less money in our pockets to spend at local businesses.
The Rogue Valley economy will be crushed by the proposed budget cuts and tax increases on working families. The Council of Economic Advisors estimates that consumer spending would fall by $2.5 billion in Oregon if a deal that protects working families is not reached. This will severely hamper local businesses and tourism. Local businesses would see this decline in consumer spending in addition to the increase in taxes and fees that will come without a deal. Tax deductions for investing in your own business will decrease dramatically.
How is that good for an economy that needs jobs? Congressman Walden and Congress need to step up, end the partisan games and give small businesses certainty and the ability to grow. Do not hamper the economy further by cutting the deficit at the expense of local businesses and consumers. — Aaron Powell, Medford
Thank you for your holiday spirit. Everyone at Conifer Gardens appreciated your loving shoebox gifts and all that was involved putting them together.
We as senior citizens look forward to the good times, and this caring gift means a lot. — M. Abbott, Medford
On Nov. 6, we elected a president intent on seeking equal status of economic bearing for all of the general public. His way of achieving this is to use the federal government to make the rich poorer. Think how much better off we would all be four years from now had we elected the one with a main goal and a proven ability to make the poor richer. — Floyd Lamb, Medford

Apple devices have nearly 200,000 apps tied to education.
James Martin/CNET
Apple broke out the stats Tuesday.
Nearly 200,000 education-focused apps have been created for Apple devices, Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of iPhone, iPad and iOS product marketing, said at a company event in Chicago.
Teachers at almost 2,000 schools worldwide are coding with Swift, the programming language Apple introduced in 2014, noted Susan Prescott, vice president of markets, apps and services at Apple.
"It's literally everything a teacher needs to get started," Prescott said. Two years ago, the company also unveiled Swift Playgrounds, an app designed to teach kids how to code.
Apple is also bumping up its free iCloud account storage limit from 5GB to 200GB for schools.
At Tuesday's event, which took place at Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago, Apple unveiled a new 9.7 inch iPad as it seeks to re-establish itself in the classroom. The company had been wrestling with years of sales declines for the iPad before they perked back up over the holidays. Apple faces strong competition in schools from Google's Chromebooks, which are popular because of their low prices and more flexible operating system.
Apple unveils new iPad to take on Chromebook in schools
Apple's iPad is still $329, but will iPhone X see price cut?
Here are all of Apple's new tools for the classroom
Joswiak said the 9.7-inch iPad has been the most-popular version in its tablet line. The just-announced iPad, like its predecessor, costs $329 for consumers and $299 for schools. Unlike 2017's 9.7-inch iPad, though, the new one will work with Apple's Pencil stylus, which costs an additional $99.
The new iPad is available to order today and will ship and arrive in stores this week.

Japan Foods Holding's (JFH) multi-brand concept allows it to capture wider consumer segments and continually cater to changing consumer tastes. This strategy has made JFH very popular with landlords and has allowed it to maximise its revenue on a per restaurant basis.
We assess that JFH could open 4-5 new restaurants each year during FY19-20 (March). Improving revenue per store for its key brands on improving consumer sentiment and continued focus on cost control should enable JFH to deliver annual earnings growth of 10-15 per cent.
It is also looking to grow overseas, having aggressively expanded into Hong Kong and China through investments in associates during FY13-17. The company is in discussions to set up a JV in Indonesia, a market where it has not had a presence since 2015.
JFH's dividend yield of 4 per cent is the highest amongst SGX-listed peers. Given its strong FCF (free cash flow)-generation ability, we believe there is potential for further upside. While net margin of 7.1 per cent may not be the highest in the industry, it is still superior to that of most peers. We believe margins could expand further in FY19-20.
JFH is trading at a FY19F price/earnings (P/E) of 14.8 times, which is at a significant discount to the industry's two-year P/E average of 19.5 times. Given the strong growth outlook and superior financial metrics, we believe it deserves to trade closer to the industry average, if not higher.
Key risks include rising labour costs and rental expenses, lower consumer spending, and non-renewal of franchise agreements.

On 16 October May, more than 150 Arab and Kurdish migrants assembled in front of the United Nations office complex in Vienna to protest the oppression of the Arab minority in Iran. A number of speakers from Iran, Syria as well as Kurdistan addressed the rally and called for solidarity.
The organizers of the rally invited the Austrian section of the RCIT to attend and speak at the rally. We participated with a delegation, and our comrade Michael Pröbsting, International Secretary of the RCIT, addressed those gathered.
In his speech comrade Pröbsting expressed the RCIT's solidarity with the Ahwazi Arabs in Iran. He called for the right of national self-determination for all minorities including the Arab minority in Iran. Comrade Pröbsting denounced the bloody dictatorship ruling in Teheran. He also criticized the hypocrisy of Western imperialism. For decades the ruling class in the US and the EU denounced Iran as evil. Now, when their global power is dwindling and new rivals emerge (Russia and China) and when they need the help of Teheran in order to put down the Syrian Revolution, Obama & Co "forget" all their accusations about the violations of human rights in Iran. Finally, comrade Pröbsting also expressed the international solidarity of the RCIT with the Syrian Revolution as well as the Palestinian Intifada.

Hamlet and Laertes journey from revenge, through obsession and anger, to forgiveness. And the revenge sought by the Ghost on Claudius becomes the revenge of Old King Fortinbras on Old King Hamlet.
Introduction: ("Where is thy father?") An opportunist from the rival kingdom of Norway claims a throne left empty when two sons of Denmark destroy each other in revenge.
Hamlet's ghost-father: ("Thy dread command") The prince must choose between damning himself as a coward or damning his soul for the sin of revenge.
Hamlet's aunt-mother: ("Up, sword … My mother stays") Hamlet seeks first to rescue Gertrude's soul before he condemns his uncle's to hell.
Laertes: ("I'll be your foil") The contrast between Hamlet and Polonius' son is not between action and delay but between reason and passion.
Young Fortinbras: ("Lands lost by his father") A dying Hamlet surrenders Denmark to the son of the man his own father killed on the day of the prince's birth.
Conclusion: ("Exchange forgiveness with me") Hamlet grants his father the salvation his suffering soul needed more than the revenge he demanded.
Hamlet contains two revenge stories, the second triggered by the first halfway through. At the play's end, an accidental swapping of swords between the two duellers Laertes and Hamlet is followed by a genuine exchange of forgiveness.
Their deadly fencing match reverses the outcome of another duel fought thirty years before, as Young Fortinbras from the rival kingdom of Norway succeeds to Denmark's vacant throne.
Hamlet is a warning both against revenge and against revenge plays. For the cycle of vengeance begins with the title character staging a play about revenge ("a knavish piece of work … writ in choice Italian", 3.2) that so enrages him with blind fury he kills the wrong man ("Dead for a ducat", 3.4). In so doing, Prince Hamlet succeeded only in creating another revenge-obsessed son, Laertes, like himself.
#Hamlet dies naming as king a prince who is more like his father King Hamlet than he ever was.
Hamlet the play is driven by three subplots centered on the legacies of three dead fathers to their sons.
Young Fortinbras' legacy was gambled and lost by his father to Prince Hamlet's father, on the day the prince was born.
Hamlet's legacy is stolen by his uncle King Claudius' secret murder of Old King Hamlet.
Laertes' legacy is jeopardized by his father Polonius' unrecorded ("hugger-mugger", 4.5) death and burial.
Denmark's crown passes to a figure Old King Hamlet would have admired: a reckless territory-grabber who would risk his and other's lives over "a little patch of ground / That hath in it no profit but the name" (4.4).
We, the audience, hear Claudius' confession ("O heavy burden!", 3.1). But what if, like Hamlet, we had not? What would we do? Lacking certain knowledge, no amount of "thinking too precisely on th' event" (4.4) helps Hamlet, a man of reason, to reason his way to a solution. He "cudgels" his "brains" (5.1) in vain.
More generally, Hamlet's dilemma is between acceptance and action: should we endure our world of "slings and arrows" as it is ("To be"). Or risk everything including our lives by taking on "a sea of troubles" and seek to change the world for the better? ("not to be", 3.1).
For Christians, vengeance belongs only to God, but as Hamlet later asks Horatio, might a Christian not also "in perfect conscience!" take a life to prevent "further evil!" (5.2)?
#Hamlet: The prince swears an oath only to "remember" his father's Ghost, not to avenge him.
Hamlet does not promise to avenge the Ghost, only never to forget him: "Now to my word. / It is 'Adieu, adieu. Remember me.' / I have sworn't" (1.5).
"Where is thy father?" (2.2). Had Ophelia asked the same question of Hamlet as he does of her, would his answer have been any less dishonest?
Trapped between feelings of inadequacy in this world ("Am I a coward", 2.2) and fear of damnation in the next, the tormented Hamlet is "from himself be ta'en away" (5.2).
Hamlet takes refuge in a put-on "antic disposition" (1.5) that reflects Claudius' false act of kingship, and that both hides and expresses the prince's inner turmoil.
It is not Claudius' guilt but Hamlet's secret knowledge of his father's death and the threat he poses to the king that is revealed by The Mousetrap with its murderous figure of the nephew Lucianus.
In the chapel and closet scenes, Hamlet's aim becomes clear: to reunite in the afterlife his fractured family of mother and father. Hence his desire to rescue Gertrude's soul ("Confess yourself to heaven", 3.4) before he condemns his uncle's ("as damned and black / As hell, whereto it goes", 3.3).
Ironically, Hamlet's wish to damn Claudius' soul saves the life of the apparently praying king. And his blind stabbing of Polonius only creates a second vengeful son. Like Laertes in the final scene ("as a woodcock to mine own springe", 5.2), Hamlet is caught in his own 'Mousetrap'.
King Claudius is haunted by the murder he has committed. Prince #Hamlet by the murder he hasn't.
Claudius is too good an actor to be exposed by the Players' performance. It is Hamlet's antic banter and threat on his life ("nephew to the king", 3.3) that sends him fleeing the play.
King Claudius gained and holds his throne through deception. Now a rare moment of authenticity, of genuine repentence-seeking in his private chapel, saves his life: "Help, angels" (3.3).
The Ghost who appears minutes later in Gertrude's closet to Hamlet ("to whet thy almost blunted purpose", 3.4) does not show himself in the chapel, suggesting he is indeed a "goblin damned" (1.4).
The Ghost's revelations sent Hamlet retreating inward into untrusting isolation. Polonius' bereaved son instead reaches outward to lead a rebellious, castle-storming mob against the king.
However, the contrast between Laertes and Hamlet is not between action and delay but between reason and passion. The prince evaded Claudius' offer to "think of us / As of a father" (1.2). In his unthinking rage, Laertes submits to the king's invitation: "Will you be ruled by me?" (4.7).
Hamlet reflected that "conscience does make cowards of us all" (3.1). Laertes consigns conscience "to the profoundest pit" (4.5). Hamlet knows how a man may tremble in "the dread of something after death" (3.1). Laertes dares "damnation" (4.5).
Laertes, the avenger #Hamlet created, is also the man who pardons the prince.
Laertes' words of "a noble father lost, / A sister driven into desperate terms" (4.7) echo Hamlet's appraisal of his own situation: "a father killed, a mother stained" (4.4).
"Was your father dear to you?" (4.7). Claudius' question of a grieving Laertes is just as manipulative as Old King Hamlet's emotional blackmailing of his son: "If thou didst ever thy dear father love …" (1.5).
Laertes too is delayed: first by Gertrude ("But not by him.", 4.5); then by Claudius ("I pray you, go with me.", 4.5); and later, at his sister's funeral, by the king, queen, Horatio and the prince himself ("Hold off thy hand", 5.1).
Cunningly, Claudius sets the two sons of murdered fathers against each other in the rigged fencing match of the final scene.
No one delays longer than Fortinbras. Thirty years lapse before he makes his move against Denmark, and then when his father's killer is himself dead.
Elsinore's guards unhesitatingly swear an oath with Hamlet on the prince's sword before departing in a soldier-like band of brothers: "come, let's go together" (1.5). Laertes' inspiring passion is capable of moving an unarmed crowd to rebellion.
In contrast, Fortinbras' only followers are hired mercenaries ("lawless resolutes", 1.2) and, later, soldiers directed to do by his uncle. His Polish adventure one of his own captains dismisses as a purposeless quest for "a little patch of ground" (4.4).
Fortinbras' good fortune was to be in the right place and time when Denmark's royal family of Hamlet self-destructed.
In #Hamlet, no one delays longer than the land-grabbing opportunist, Young Fortinbras.
Both Hamlet and Young Fortinbras share their dead fathers' names and are princes in countries ruled by their uncle kings. But their motivations could not be more different.
Fortinbras never speaks of revenge; nor does any other character describe him as an avenger.
Fortinbras is an opportunist who is stirred to action by the death of Hamlet's father rather than his own, suspecting Denmark "to be disjoint and out of frame" (1.2).
That his uncle can so easily bribe him into attacking Poland is proof that what drives Fortinbras is the prospect of land and military glory.
Despite the nobles' cry of "Treason" (5.2), the prince strikes his villainous uncle: with the poisoned sword (for his own death) and poisoned wine goblet (for this mother's). It is more public execution than private vengeance. The ending brings not just comeuppance but forgiveness too: Laertes, the avenger Hamlet's desire for revenge created, is also the man who pardons the prince.
As for Old King Hamlet ("Alas, poor Ghost", 1.5), by surrendering Denmark to his rival's son perhaps the prince has granted his "dear father" (2.2) something more than revenge: forgiveness for his land-grabbing, "Extorted treasure in the womb of earth" (1.1) sins committed "in his days of nature" (1.5)—and with it escape from his suffering in the "sulfurous and tormenting flames" (1.5) of purgatory.
#Hamlet grants his father not the revenge he demanded but the atonement his suffering soul needed more.
Laertes exposes Claudius' villainy ("The king's to blame", 5.2) and his offered exchange of forgiveness finally ends the cycle of vengeful violence.
Old King Fortinbras' son does more than recover lands lost by his father three decades before; he succeeds to Denmark's throne.
Prince Hamlet ends the play as Old King Hamlet began it: as a ghost, neither dead nor alive, fearing his life will be forgotten and story untold: "Remember me" (1.5), asked the father; "Report me and my cause aright" (5.2), says the son.
Has villainy been "justly served" by "providence" (5.2), or has the ending been just another turn of the "wheel" of "fortune" (2.2) of which the Players spoke?

Dwayne Johnson honors amputee community with 'Skyscraper'
NEW YORK (AP) — Dwayne Johnson hopes to honor the amputee community by playing a former FBI agent with a prosthetic leg in the new action thriller "Skyscraper."
In the film, Johnson plays the security consultant of a Hong Kong skyscraper who must save his family and the city from harm when it becomes engulfed in flames. The problem is intensified when he's framed for starting the blaze.
"I was honored to play an amputee, and to make sure that I did right by them," Johnson said on the red carpet for the film's US premiere Tuesday night. "The research was very extensive. I spent a lot of time with amputees."
One of those he consulted joined Johnson at the premiere: Jeff Glasbrenner, a Paralympian who became the first American amputee to successfully climb Mount Everest in 2016. Johnson called him "an amazing man."
Of the film, he added: "There's two sides to this. One is a big spectacle, big summer fun. The other side is making sure that we paid homage and respect to amputees around the world."
The film's writer and director Rawson Marshall Thurber called it "incredibly important" to represent the amputee community.
"There hasn't been an amputee as the lead of an action film, ever, as far as I know. And I thought it was high time and I hope we're not the last. I think Dwayne worked really, really hard to represent that community and honor that community. And I think he did a fantastic job," Thurber said.

« Beyond the Lipid Hypothesis (Part 3): What's Insulin Got to Do With It?
The trip was definitely a big success with a much networking and information sharing. I was happy with the presentation overall and appreciated that many who approached me afterward appeared to get the bigger fundamentals of what I was looking to communicate.
A lot of fantastic people were on this cruise, including Drs Jonny Bowden, Ted Naiman, Ken Berry, Ann Childers, Andreas Eenfeldt, and Eric Westman.
I have many pictured below including my good friend, Amy Berger.
I have a massive treasure trove of data that I'm getting together from the Weight Gain Experiment. In fact, it's much more than I have time to analyze right now as I prepare for the next presentation (see below) and the series of experiments immediately following regarding resistance training.
Never fear — I plan to "open source" the data to all of you.
While I intend to do a short video on the key points I made in my presentation last week, I'm excited to read what others may find in the data and gather their analysis as well. Moreover, I'll likely put up the most interesting and insightful comments into a blog post all its own.
Needless to say, this has been a long time coming. I'll be doing a presentation on LMHRs, my opinion on their risks, and how I think they may be (unknowingly) changing the world.
Hi – Dave's talk on Lean Mass Hyper Responders will be at Ketocon, which is in Texas in June this year. We're working on making it available in some capacity after the fact, as well, but for sure we'll keep you all updated on it.
OK… I have watched several of your videos on YouTube… And you said that 100% of the time when you looked at a person's numbers you coukd tell if they were a lean mass hyper responder… So let me tell you my numbers… total cholesterol 328 HDL 80 triglycerides 52 LDL calculated 238… trust me when I tell you… That I am not a lean mass person… I'm 61 years old, female, five foot two, currently 137 lb… I was 147 when this lab work was done… I think your research on cholesterol is totally fascinating… And I wondered if you had any thoughts on why my numbers would be like this?
I am curious — do you do any regular exercise or are you sedentary?
When do we see your weight gain experiment cholesterol results? I'm particularly interested in the LDL and Apo(b).
While I feel comfortable with above now, the problem is that my wife is worried sick about the overall cholesterol and I am going to see a primary care doctor this week.
a)I can try the 3 day hack of eating lots of saturated fat the 3 days prior to the blood test.
c)do you know a Dr in the SF Bay Area who I can see who is up to date with your type of research on cholesterol that I may be able to go see to check the box with my wife?
We're working on getting all the data together, still, but there will be a post when the data goes public.
As for a doctor in your area, you may be able to reach out to Dr Bret Scher, a cardiologist based out of California. He goes by @bschermd on twitter, so you may be able to ping him there and ask if he's taking patients. Otherwise there's also Ken Berry, a GP, who does telemedicine (remote care).

I am always discovering and discovering and was just introduced to JOCO cups…. if you know me you know that I love TEA ! I would say I know a lot about tea and I know a lot about ice cream – those are two of my hobbies in a way ! Good tea & Good ice cream.
So when someone introduces me to a cup that will make my tea experience even more special – I am excited.
I took my JOCO cup this weekend on my roadtrip to the Outlier Inn in Upstate NY. It came to me on all our side of the road stops from Panera Bread to Starbucks and to brewing my own tea along the way….
Annually, over 500 billion disposable paper, Styrofoam and single-use plastic cups are used worldwide and this figure is rapidly rising each year. Shockingly, these cups deplete natural resources, increase C02emissions and most are sent straight to landfill where they add to the global waste crises.
The JOCO community are regular crew who believe its time to give a little back. JOCO cups are made from high quality, non-porous, borosilicate glass. They are lightweight and resistant to extreme changes in temperature. Their superior durability makes them microwave and dishwasher safe. Your JOCO cup is free of all harmful chemical nasties including BPA, lead and cadmium. Glass doesn't affect flavour so you will taste your coffee or tea, not your cup.
The thermal silicone sleeve keeps your coffee or tea at the optimal temperature and your hands cool.
Our one-way lid means no more coffee splashes when you are on the go. The specially designed nose-dome feature means no more embarrassing nose to lid collisions.
The liquid volume of our 8oz, 12oz and 16 oz glasses is measured from standard takeaway cup sizes. We keep the baristas happy and they approve your JOCO cup with thumbs up.
I always like to bring little suprises on our roadtrip and the lovely company HARBOR SWEETS just sent me GATHER Chocolates to try and they are dome shaped – actually honeycomb in a way – incredibly beautiful package and the treats were delicious – but decided to bring these on our road trip – they are the newest addition to our Harbor Sweets family, Gather Chocolate. Also I loved this company since it was from Massachusetts and so is my husband – so I was immediately interested in them. They have a beautiful online chocolate shop with ton of options – it is a great gift giving site ! More about GATHER – Conceived out of a love for nature and the outdoors, Gather Chocolate is not only beautiful and a delight to the taste buds, but also our way of raising awareness of the plight of the honeybee. The alarming loss of honeybees and other pollinators is perilous to all agriculture and our ecosystem. They hope to change the trend by becoming part of the solution. They will be donating 2.5% of all Gather sales to the Pollinator Partnership to aid in their efforts to preserve and protect our pollinators. . Save the bees! The Pollinator Partnership is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and the largest in the world dedicated exclusively to the protection and promotion of pollinators and their ecosystems.

Q: How do I use the class type as a map key and a list of the values of the class as the map value? I'm having difficulty creating an implementation class of my CodeService interface.
public interface CodeService<T extends AbstractCode> {
Map<Class<T>, List<T>> getCodes();
}
AbstractCode is an abstract superclass of my Country, City and Sex classes which have the corresponding table names in my database.
The getCodes() method should return a map of the class type as key (Country.class, City.class, Sex.class) and a list of all the countries, cities and sexes returned by the database as the value.
My implementation of the getCodes() method is as follows:
public class HibernateCodeService<T extends AbstractCode> implements CodeService<T> {
private Map<Class<T>, List<T>> map = new HashMap<Class<T>, List<T>>();
public Map<Class<T>, List<T>> getCodes() {
/* Create an instance of the HibernateCodeDao<Sex> class */
CodeDao<Sex> sexDao = new HibernateCodeDao<Sex>();
/* Set the class type as Sex.class */
Class<Sex> type = Sex.class;
/* Fetch all the sex values from the database */
List<Sex> list = sexDao.fetchAll(Sex.class);
/* Put the Sex.class as the map key, list of sexes as the value */
map.put(type, list);
/* Same code for Country and City classes */
return map;
}
}
However, the IDE issues an error on the map.put(type, list) line.
put (java.lang.Class<T>, java.util.List<T>) in Map cannot be applied to (java.lang.Class<Sex>, java.util.List<Sex>)
My question is, how can I store the class type as a key im my map so that i can fetch a list of all the values of this class?
A: If I were to instantiate an instance of HibernateCodeService<Country>, then your map would be a Map<Class<Country>, List<Country>> by means of your parameter. As Country and Sex are unrelated, this means it is not allowed to be inserted into your map.
Now, for what you're trying to accomplish, your use of generics won't work. Because the key to your map is a Class<T>, it means your map can only contain one possible value per instance, which somewhat defeats the purpose of your map. While I agree with @chrylis that this isn't a good thing to do in a production system, you can accomplish what you intend to accomplish by removing the generics from your interface, and have your method return:
public interface CodeService {
Map<Class<? extends AbstractCode>, List<? extends AbstractCode>> getCodes();
}

Wilson-Raybould said she supports an investigation into the leaks.
"This has to stop and, given the seriousness of this matter, I feel that there should be consideration of having some sort of investigation as to the source of this information," she said in an email response to a query from CBC News.
Wilson-Raybould said that, contrary to what some have suggested, she has not been the source of any of the SNC-Lavalin stories — including the Feb. 7 Globe and Mail report that touched off the scandal — and has never authorized anyone to speak on her behalf about the subject.
She said reporting and commentary on a Supreme Court appointment could compromise the integrity of the process.
The Canadian Bar Association (CBA) also weighed in this week, insisting the application and deliberations process for judicial appointments must be kept strictly confidential to ensure its integrity.
"Keeping the deliberations confidential respects the privacy of applicants and guards against interference," said CBA president Ray Adlington in a statement posted to the CBA's website.

Start your school year off right with a morning journal with printable prompts and activities. One struggle that I was always having as a teacher is finding morning work that engages all my students and works on a variety of skills. I would constantly forget to find something for the next day and have to rush to be ready for my students in the morning. This search always left me feeling scattered and I'd have to spend so much time redirecting my students because they were not interested in the morning work. Plus the directions were always different which confused my students.
Enter my morning work journal with prompt and printables. I've included 2 different versions for you to use. I've used both with my class and it depended on my students which one I would use. It also depended on the school limit on paper.
The easiest version to use is the full morning journal.
Each day of the week has a different focus.
Monday is Mathematical Monday. Students will work through different math standards including fact families, counting coins, telling time, identifying shapes, drawing arrays.
Tuesday is Try it out Tuesday. On these days, students will work with grammar and phonics skills.
Wednesday is Wordy Wednesday. A new vocabulary word is introduced on these days and students must read about the word and use the word correctly.
Thursday is Thinking Thursday. Students will be given a question that makes them think and they must write to answer the question.
Friday is Fun Fact Friday. The students must read the fun fact and write to answer a question in a narrative or opinion format.
In the printable notebooks, I have included a bonus on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays that helps students extend the concept even further.
Another way that you can use the morning printables is by printing out the prompts and having students glue them in a spiral or composition notebook. This is perfect if you have a limit on the paper that you can use at your school. Students would just glue the prompt in their notebook and go.
I love to copy the prompts on Astrobrights paper each day so it's easier for me to grade and it's easier for the students to know the days.
I'm organized this product in three ways so it's convenient for you. You can print all the daily prompts at one time so you can have all the Mondays on a certain color paper. I've also got the monthly prompts organized from Monday-Friday so you have them in order. Lastly, I have the monthly journals in 12 sets so you can print one for each month.
You can check out a free week of the morning journal on TPT. This is a great way to see if you like the set up and to see if it would work in your classroom.
Click on the image above to download a free sample. I've also placed this resource on sale through Tuesday, July 17th so grab a set before school begins.

Stars in Their Community: Seasonal Specialty Stores
Turn Down No One
By Megan Kendrick
Jeanne DiPaolo's Christmas list looked different from most people's. Instead of gifts for herself, she gave her husband Dennis a list of charities she wanted him to support.
Jeanne died of cancer in 2015, but Dennis honors her memory by giving to some of her favorite charities, like High Hopes Foundation, a nonprofit that provides enriching experiences to ill children.
Giving has always been part of the DiPaolos' business philosophy: Throughout Seasonal Specialty Stores' 29 years in business, it has supported more than 160 organizations.
"As a business owner, you have a responsibility to support the community," DiPaolo says. He tries to support the small, local charities. "I never say no to anybody who's small."
Typically, the company gives gift certificates, though it does larger donations to a select number of outlets annually. "I'm saying yes in a small way to a large number of people," DiPaolo says.
After spending many years at a large company where DiPaolo felt it was his job to say no, he relishes saying yes as much as possible.
"[At the large company], my job was to prevent money from being given out," DiPaolo says. "You had to fill out forms; you had to have the right tax stuff and all that. There are lots of charities that are so small, they didn't even know about the right tax forms. I support them, and I try to avoid the national [nonprofits]."
Word gets out, unsurprisingly, when you don't say no very often, so the company gets many, many requests a year. But DiPaolo keeps track of who Seasonal has supported and tries to keep it to one donation per organization per year.
"The point of saying yes to everybody local is to support the local community," he says.

Arc Forum new | comments | leaders | submit login
17 points by cchooper 3918 days ago | link | parent
Personally, I think the only thing that went wrong in the history of Arc is that pg didn't correct people's misunderstandings about what it was, and what it was trying to achieve. A 100-year language is not going to be usable tomorrow, and a language designed by the optimal number of people (one) is not going to accept many patches!
If people want a practical language to use now (and there's nothing wrong with that!) then they should go ahead and build one. I'm happy to join any project that anyone may have for developing an Arc-like language. I might even start one myself (why not? It'll be fun!) if I have the time.
A language doesn't survive in its implementations, but in its ideas. Modern languages (especially Python/Ruby, but even C# and Java) are becoming Lisp. Dynamic typing, late binding, functional programming, closures, generic functions, MOP... the 'popular press' laughed at them, but now these are the hot topics in language design. Those ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementations of half of Common Lisp are getting better every year. Common Lisp and Scheme will die, but in 10 years everyone will be using Lisp, and they won't even know it.
The same goes for Arc. Clojure already uses some ideas from Arc (e.g. fewer parens in conditionals). If the ideas are good (and I think they are) then they'll spread. If people want to build new languages (e.g. Arc3F) that use them, then that spreads them further, That, I think, is the true future of Arc, as a source of eternal ideas.

I have to admit that Clojure looks very interesting. Functional programming, concurrency with software transactional memory, access to a huge Java library, conciseness, etc. It's also a Lisp-1 like Arc w/ Common Lisp style macros, but it has namespaces. It doesn't have TCO due to JVM limitations and I don't think it has continuations, so an Arc-like web server might be more challenging.
The concurrency story is particularly interesting given the proliferation of cores and slowing of GHz.
The Clojure version of Norvig's spelling corrector appears to be one line shorter than Norvig's Python version:
http://arclanguage.com/item?id=8554
I would really like to see an Arc version of that. I translated Norvig's Python version to Ruby easily, so I expect that someone fluent in Arc could do it easily.
The other Lisp versions I've seen (Scheme/Common Lisp) were quite a bit longer and less elegant IMO.
I'm not super excited about Clojure's dependence on the JVM, but on the other hand, that gives it a huge head start with libraries and state of the art VM/JIT technology.
Rich Hickey doesn't seem to have the star power of pg, but he is very involved in the language and community. He seems like more of a Matz or Guido which doesn't seem that bad - he seems quite sharp in his web cast presentations.
I could be way off, but it seems like it would be easier to add Arc innovations to Clojure than to add Clojure-like concurrency support to Arc.

> continuations, so an Arc-like web server might be more challenging.
Arc's server doesn't actually use continuations - it uses functions that serve as continuatinos. There's no call to 'ccc or any of the wrapping forms in srv.arc (at least none that I remember)
> The concurrency story is particularly interesting given the proliferation of cores and slowing of GHz.
This is true and I think the "extra-cycles-to-waste" property expected by PG isn't going to put out in a hundred years.
> state of the art VM/JIT technology
Forget the libraries. This is what's scary about any JVM language.

"Arc's server doesn't actually use continuations - it uses functions that serve as continuatinos. There's no call to 'ccc or any of the wrapping forms in srv.arc (at least none that I remember)"
That's right, no 'ccc. That's why I could implement it so easily in Lua (no real continuation in Lua either). As for TCO, I'm not sure it's a real problem in this case. Sure, a lot of simple functions are written in a recursive style, but they can be trivially rewritten in an iterative style.
2 points by fjl 3896 days ago | link
arc is a movement, not a language.
the primary goal was not to build a language but to get an avalanche of new lisp implementations started.
that lisp is quite easy to implement makes the idea even more compelling.
2 points by Zak 3828 days ago | link
>It doesn't have TCO due to JVM limitations
This is only half-true. Clojure cannot automagically convert a self-call in the tail position in to iteration, but it does have the recur form to provide essentially the same semantics. I've also found it useful that recur throws an exception if used outside of the tail position, making it obvious which recursive forms consume stack space and which do not.
2 points by arjungmenon 3918 days ago | link
I personally feel that a language core should be the work of a single person. Period.
The core set of axioms that form a language are almost fundamental as the laws of nature to that language. Just imagine theory of relativity being developed by several scientists together... almost impossible.
Even 2 persons should not work together on a language core. The quantity of communication required if 2 persons work on a single language is so large, that hinders and messes up the development process.
If there's one place where the saying "Too many cooks, spoil the soup" applies; its core language design.

Q: Submitting a form to ASP.NET MVC from Knockout does not bring in all the values Here is what I have in my view in ASP.NET MVC 5
@model Entities.Coupon
@using (Html.BeginForm("coupon", "marketing", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<div class="scsm-18 scmd-16 sclg-14">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Codes</label>
@Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.Code, new { @class = "form-control", @data_bind = "value: Code", @autofocus = true, @maxlength = "50" })
</div>
<input type="radio" name="IsPerCentOrDollar" value="1" data-bind="checked: IsPerCentOrDollar" />
<span>PercentageAmount</span>
<input type="radio" name="IsPerCentOrDollar" value="2" data-bind="checked: IsPerCentOrDollar" />
<span>DollarAmount</span>
<input type="radio" name="IsPerCentOrDollar" value="3" data-bind="checked: IsPerCentOrDollar" />
<span>FreeShipping</span>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer text-right">
<input type="submit" name="commandType" id="btnSave" class="btn btn-primary" data-bind="click:submit" value="Save" />
</div>
}
In the script:
$(document).ready(function () {
var viewModel = new CouponViewModel(couponModel);
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
function CouponViewModel(data) {
self.Code = ko.observable(data.Code);
self.IsPerCentOrDollar = ko.observable("1");
self.DiscountLevel = ko.computed(function () {
return self.IsPerCentOrDollar();
});
};
}
Code in MVC:
[HttpPost, ActionName("coupon")]
public ActionResult coupon(Coupon coupon)
{
try
{
// some logic not yet in
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return View();
}
That's all I have in there now.
In Developer tools inside the browser I can see values for self.DiscountLevel change on the selection of radio buttons.
On Submit, at MVC front the value of Code comes in but the values for DiscountLevel are not.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards.
A: Let me expand on @StephenMuecke's comment (which has the gist of it I think).
ASP.NET MVC's default model binding will fill the argument (Coupon) with values found in the request. Only form elements are sent along with the request. You seem to expect that DiscountLevel is sent along, but it's just a JavaScript function that exists in the user's browser.
Adding something like this may solve your immediate problem:
<input type="hidden" name="DiscountLevel" data-bind="value: DiscountLevel" />
To note a related issue though: the property you have trouble with is a computed observable. However, you probably do not want to send it along as it depends entirely on IsPerCentOrDollar. Just have your server side Coupon class derive the discount level from that property too. That would also prevent users from hacking the hidden input and sending in a malicious value.

Transportation funding becomes NJ priority
Geoff Mulvihill
TRENTON – Funding for transportation projects has long been simmering as an issue in New Jersey.
Now, it's coming to a boil.
Last week, a coalition of business, consumer advocate and planning groups called for a new funding structure. Days later, Gov. Chris Christie nominated Democrat Jamie Fox to head the state's transportation department, and he was confirmed by the state Senate on Monday.
On Wednesday, the state Assembly's transportation committee is holding a hearing on funding for projects.
Here is a look at issues involved:
Q: How does New Jersey pay for transportation projects?
A: The state uses money from the gasoline tax (at 14.5 cents per gallon, it's among the nation's lowest); a tax on firms that refine or distribute petroleum projects; a portion of the sales tax and a relatively small allocation from toll road authorities. For the current fiscal year, that revenue comes to $1.2 billion. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is paying for an additional $375 million in New Jersey projects.
But the transportation trust fund is troubled. Policymakers say that the state should pay for road and transit projects as work is done. But New Jersey has instead long been funding most work by borrowing.
This year, it expects to pay $1.2 billion in debt service for previous projects. To help fund that, the state is issuing $1 billion in new bonds.
Q: What's the shape of New Jersey's transportation system?
A: There's broad agreement that a lot of roads and bridges could use upgrades. One report has identified more than 2,000 bridges with structural deficiencies. Advocates say the state needs to make improvements to reduce commuting times, car repair bills and to be more attractive for trucking and warehousing businesses.
Q: What does the state need to do?
A: Forward NJ, a coalition of business groups, transportation advocates and other organizations, is calling for the same thing that Democratic lawmakers want: a permanent source of funding for the projects. It says the state needs to spend $20 billion on projects over the next decade, but the group has not advocated for a particular method of raising that money.
Q: Does there need to be a tax increase to pay for transportation projects?
A: Advocates generally think there does.
Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, a Democrat, said he is open to ideas about which tax or taxes would need to be raised and by how much. He said possibilities include raising the per-gallon gasoline tax, imposing a sales tax on gas or raising the petroleum tax.
Gov. Christie, a Republican who generally opposes raising taxes, said last week that "all options are on the table," but he did not speak specifically about what they might be or which he prefers.
Q: What does it mean that Christie named a Democrat to be his next transportation commissioner?
A: Democrats are praising Fox as both a transportation expert and a savvy politician. He has served as a top aide to Gov. Jim McGreevey. He served as state transportation commissioner more than a decade ago and has also been deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Democrat-controlled state Senate confirmed him Monday.
"I think it's a good step in the right direction. I think Jamie is very well respected by everybody," Prieto said. "He knows the need."

WAHOO'S REVENGE?
November 19, 2016 / jbholway / Leave a comment
"I really feel like, in some ways, that rain delay was kind of divine intervention."
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer
If the American League had not won the All Star Game, would the Indians be world champs? Or if the Rangers, the best team in the American League, had been in the Series, as logically and traditionally they should have been, would they have beaten the Cubs?
There would surely have been no 17-minute rain delay at the critical moment in game 7. Jayson Heyward used it to give his rousing locker room pep talk that sent the fired up Cubs out to score two huge 10th-inning runs.
Have you ever heard of a 17-minute rain delay in the entire history of the game, going back to 1869?
To me, the biggest stat of the wild, wonderful Series was this one:
That's the record of the Cleveland team at home, where the Native Americans – ignored as usual by the press – were chanting and drumming their protests against Chief Wahoo.
Consider: Of the previous ten World Series 7th games, the home teams had won nine.
Cleveland could win two out of three games in Chicago, but they couldn't even win half their games at home.
So, while one curse was ended – the Billy Goat Curse – another one continued.
The Indians might have deserved their bad mojo, at least the fans and their owner. But not the players.
And for 71 years the Cubs and their fans had done nothing to deserve the Billy Goat Curse. All that bad karma just because one guy got mad about a ridiculous minor insult 71 years ago.
If inviting a goat to a game can change a long fly out into a home run, well, you can do whatever you want to, but I'd have invited the goat decades ago.
And I would not defiantly wear a hated racist symbol on my hat when I had been politely asked to take it off.
Psychic mojo is apparently morally neutral. Like electricity, steam, or nuclear power, it works for both "bad" users and "good" users, against both deserving and undeserving victims. All the more reason to try to understand it and harness it before the other team beats you to it.
Some readers might scoff that it's just a coincidence. If you have never experienced psychic phenomena, then it's perfectly understandable that you believe that no one else can either. I know where you're coming from; I came from there once myself too.
Critical RISPs
All RISPs are not created equal. A RISP when you're six runs ahead or behind means almost nothing. But a RISP that ties the game or puts you ahead, now that's different.
I call this a CRISP – a Critical RISP
For two years, I've been tracking the Washington Nationals' CRISPs. This year I included both batting in a run and scoring it as well: You can't bat in a RISP if there's no RISP to bat in.
2016 Nationals' CRISPs
Danny Murphy 52
Bryce Harper 51
Anthony Rendon 44
Wilson Ramos 38
Jayson Werth 32
Ryan Zimmerman 31
Trey Turner 26 (73 games)

Harper, the 2015 unanimous MVP, had a bad year in the traditional stats (HR, BA etc). But he led the team in CRISP until the very last week. The reason: walks. The pitchers were still afraid of him, or his reputation, and he seemed to be always trotting down to first. He not only gave his team a free base-runner and potential run, he gave them a 4th out.
Notice Turner. If he plays a full season next year, he could be the team leader.
We should also reward the unappreciated guys, who move the RISP into scoring position with a hit, a walk, a sacrifice.
And we should count the anti-RISPs – the guys who don't get on base when the game is tight, who don't move them around, and who don't bat them in.
Any volunteers to do other teams next year?

Enjoyed the article. Recently, I met a lady in Tempe, AZ who is a full-blooded Navajo and a baseball fan. She grew up in Cleveland in the 40's and 50's, when all Native Americans were admitted to Cleveland games free. She said she has no problem with the Indians' logo. (Don Thompson)

Sounds pretty convincing to me. (Barbara Wolanin.)
I've enjoyed your baseball columns immensely. I look forward to your insights. Being 61, I love the nostalgic look at the "best" days of baseball. And I like the way you bring fine details of the game, behind the scenes stuff. Brilliant.
And now you've thrown a curve into a new path more spiritual. And I like it. Why? Very refreshing and hitting upon topics I am most interested in.
I've included the link of a "spiritual" day that happened to me just a few months ago in Cooperstown. I hope you enjoy it, and I know you'll not be one bit surprised by it.
Keep up the great work! (Gary Kaschak)

See a great movie
The Eagle Huntress
In the bleak, beautiful, windswept Altai mountains of Mongolia, Kazakh (Cossack) men have been hunting with eagles for centuries. When a 12-year old girl wants to do it, all the men shake their heads. Except one: her father. He teaches her everything he knows, and she beats the guys in competition. A true story.
Eagles, incidentally, are trained and treated with the same affection we give our pet dogs.
This should be a prize winner.
See a Movie Classic –
Even Russian historians have to quote John Reed's epic book, "Ten Days That Shook the World." It's probably the best source in any language for one of the major events of the 20th Century, the Bolshevik Revolution.
Warren Beatty directed, wrote, and starred in this biography of Reed, an American Communist who couldn't speak Russian but rushed to St Petersburg to cover the story. He collected every handbill and poster he saw.
I just watched the film for the fourth time, on TV, and moved it to the top of my list of greatest American movies, ahead of "African Queen" and "Rocky."
Beatty was nominated for three Oscars – only two other men have achieved that: Orson Welles and Woodie Allen – but he lost to "Chariots of Fire." Diane Keaton as his lover and Jack Nicholson as playwright Eugene O'Neill, who seduced her, were also nominated, but all lost.
Reed broke with the Communists when they turned dictatorial. But he's the only American buried in the Kremlin wall.
This is a great way to learn history. The film is in two parts, about three hours total. And I wouldn't cut a minute of it.
See a Great TV Documentary –
The Battle of Chosin
If the names of all the Americans killed in Korea were put on a wall, it would be almost as big as the Viet Nam wall. And Viet Nam lasted ten years, Korea only three.
One GI who fought in both says, "Viet Nam was a Sunday school picnic compared to Korea." That's not to diminish the sacrifices of the men in Viet Nam. It's to emphasize the unknown valor of the men in Korea. I was there and was wounded (ingloriously, by friendly fire), and I've just finished an oral history of that war, "Bloody Ground."
Korea is "the forgotten war." But to those dwindling few who were in it, it was unforgettable.
Korea was also our last "good war;" We saved Japan from a possible Communist invasion. All wars since then have been ambiguous or controversial. Even unnecessary.
PBS has made a gripping story of one chapter of the conflict – the Marines' epic fight to escape a massive Chinese encirclement in the winter of 1950-51. At 40-50 degrees below zero, they didn't have to put a bandage on a wound – the blood froze and didn't bleed.
The Leathernecks were one of six American divisions but had the shortest distance – about 200 miles – to go; most GI ground pounders had to slog and fight twice as far.
But the Marines were also the only division that brought their own cameras, so everything you see about the war has to come from them. Ditto World War II in the Pacific. If you think they fought it all by themselves, they don't correct you, which is why Marines and GIs don't get along very well.
Despite the caveats, this is a powerful record – the only film record – of a chapter of history that the American people know almost nothing about.
Vale, Hillary
Many people don't know it: Clinton actually finished first in the voting – she won about 700,000 more popular votes at latest count. This is the second time in the last five elections that the winner has been the loser. The last was Al Gore in 2000. I don't know how to change it. The winners won't, and the losers can't. Hillary's gracious speech the next morning was one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. In a campaign that plunged to Atlantean depths, she ended on a Himalayan peak. I think school kids will read her words a century from now. I'm still basking in the afterglow.
See you next spring
By the time you read this, I'll be four score and seven years old. I've still got five years of work to finish, and the time to do it in grows shorter every day. I've loved doing these essays and reading your reactions, but I've got to take a five-month break and work on my Bucket List – a 1,000-page Ted trilogy with new stories you've never heard, the most complete Negro league stats ever done, "Amazin' Baseball" with more psychic eye-brow raisers, a few movie scripts, and a couple of inventions for better keyboards. I look forward to seeing you again in April.

NZCA Lines is Michael Lovett, a London synthpopper who recently spent time as a touring member of Metronomy. His debut album Infinite Summer is coming out next month, and we already posted his single "Persephone Dreams." He's following it up with "Two Hearts," which is not a Phil Collins cover. Rather, it's a piece of sweeping, romantic electro-pop, a prime soundtrack candidate if anyone ever makes a more-hopeful sequel to Drive. Check it out below.
Infinite Summer is out 1/22 on Memphis Industries.

Sig Hansen on Dancing with the Stars: "I'll do it"; Andy Hillstrand doesn't like Deadliest Catch's "dark" editing
Andy Dehnart
Date published Jun. 27, 2011, 9:31 am | Discussion 0 comments
Deadliest Catch star and Northwestern captain Sig Hansen said he'll participate in Dancing with the Stars next spring.
The St. Pete Times' Eric Deggans reports that "the possibility Hansen might fulfill his longtime dream of competing on Dancing With the Stars in March 2012" is "the kind of success they could scarcely have predicted when [executive producer Thom] Beers first suggested putting a film crew on their boats for the first time."
Specifically, Sig said, "So they're looking at it for next March and I'll do it. I think it'd be good for the brand, once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it's fuckin' cool, you know? Why not, you know? … I think it'd be fun. It's just, you know, why not? I'm living life. It's been fun and as long as it doesn't hurt my relationship with my wife, I'm good with it." (That quotation didn't make the story but Deggans provided it to me from the transcript of his interview.)
The interview is a hilarious read; Sig, who voices a character in Cars 2 and is going on tour with the Hillstrands, was at Pike Street Market in Seattle while talking to Deggans, which led to great quotations like this one: "These guys just asked me for a picture; this is fucking horseshit. Right now, I just have to buy some fucking shrimp with my father-in-law."
Also in the story, Andy Hillstrand, who with his brother and Sig temporarily quit the show over money last fall before getting a raise, isn't a fan of the editing. "Playing Johnny Cash, everybody's wearing black, (the tagline) 'survive the season, survive each other' … it's like, what the hell are they even talking about? We like to have fun doing what we do. So if I see it get dark like that, I just don't care for it as much."

The 9 Best Couch Co-Op Games to Play With Friends and Family
Looking to kill some time with your family? Here are some great games that won't have you fighting over who goes next.
Having family around can mean scrambling for entertainment options. After all, you can only play Monopoly so many times before it starts to get old. Sure, you can play other board games, but what about video games?
Nobody wants to watch you play through the Halo games in a row again. Instead, why don't you pick up a few games that let you put those extra controllers to use?
Related: The best mobile games for couples on one phone
1. Don't Starve Together
Don't Starve is a game about, well, not starving. Surviving in the game isn't easy, which is why the developer released a free expansion titled Don't Starve Together.
This game supports up to six players, which can make staying alive easier, but it's still not a cakewalk. You can optionally enable Player versus Player, which makes everything much more dangerous.
2. Overcooked 2
You might think a game about preparing and serving food would be boring, but Overcooked 2 is anything but. This game begins slowly, at least for the first 30 seconds or so.
After that it quickly picks up the pace, and you and your family will be frantically yelling orders back and forth to try to prep, cook, and plate as many dishes as you can as fast as you can.

3. Snipperclips Plus
If all you have is your Nintendo Switch but want to play some games with your family, Snipperclips Plus is a great way to play.
All you need is the two JoyCons, though you can play with up to four players. This is a cooperative puzzle game that has you creating shapes out of each other, and while the challenge ramps up, it never gets frustrating.
Related: The best Nintendo Switch puzzle games
4. Rayman Legends
Rayman Legends was originally released in 2013, but keeps getting ported to new systems as they come out. That's a good thing as the game is so fun it deserves to be played, no matter the system you play it on.
Adding more players doesn't exactly make the game easier, but it definitely makes it even more fun, and it's a great way to have family members feel involved instead of like bystanders.
5. Unravel Two
The original Unravel was a cute, friendly platformer with some fun puzzles starring a character named Yarny.
As the name implies, Unravel Two lets you play as two Yarnys, which can make working your way through the puzzles more fun as you bounce ideas off of each other. The game's cute look means it's ultra family-friendly as well.
6. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a great game no matter how many people are playing it, but it can be a bit much trying to control your ship's various functions alone.
What better way to spend time with your family than to enlist them into helping you blast your way across the galaxy? Then you'll always be able to talk about that time you took that trip through space.
7. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
You might have memories of playing one at a time in older Mario games, but that's not the case here. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe supports up to four players running, jumping, and fireballing their way through levels.
While the aim is to play cooperatively, there's plenty of opportunity for griefing other players too if you happen to be that kind of family.
Related: The best Nintendo Switch exclusives
8. Cuphead
Cuphead is a tough game, despite how friendly (and gorgeous) its retro cartoon graphics may look. You might think adding another player would take the edge off the challenge, but you'd be wrong.
The game ups the challenge accordingly when you add another player, but at least you're not loosing again.
9. Ultimate Chicken Horse
Okay, I'll be honest here: Ultimate Chicken Horse isn't really a cooperative game. You're trying to get to the goal while preventing other players from getting there, which isn't exactly cooperative in spirit.
That said, the game will have you laughing as you fail instead of shaking your head in frustration, and you can always opt to lend other players a hand if they're having a tough time.

What Is a Testamentary Document?
In Probate Litigation, Supreme Court Rule Procedures
It is often difficult to determine if a document is testamentary or not when it purportedly takes effect upon death.
Shortly before writing this article, I settled a Wills Variation action on the eve of trial where the deceased had deliberately used an estate planning procedure so as to deliberately disinherit four of her five children from the biggest asset, namely the shares in a company that owned a commercial building. The child that was left the significant share of the deceased estate was realistically unemployable and not very capable. The deceased therefore had wanted to retain as much control as possible of her estate until her demise. Accordingly, the handling solicitor prepared a will, and a year later, just prior to her death, prepared an option to purchase the shares of the company in favor of the incapable son, that became exercisable upon her death and for up to two years thereafter. The assets that remained in her estate were also substantially depleted by the payment of the capital gains taxes due and owing on the deemed disposition of her shares. The four disinherited children argued that the option, because it could only be exercised upon her death, was therefore a testamentary document, and because it had not been duly executed in accordance with the provisions of the Wills Act, was therefore void. Essentially the entire Wills Variation action came down to whether or not the option to purchase was or was not a testamentary document. If it was not testamentary, then the shares passed outside of the estate, and could not be attacked by the claimants.
An inter vivos gift occurs when the donor intends the transfer of the interest to be immediate and irrevocable. The gift is perfected during the lifetime of the donor, and there is said to be a "present passing interest", even when the donee's right to actual enjoyment is postponed.
A will is the most common form of a testamentary document. The essential elements of a valid will are:
1)It is intended to have a disposing effect;
2)It is intended not to take effect until after death and to be entirely dependent on death for its operation;
3)It is intended to be revocable;
4) It is executed in accordance with the wills legislation of the relevant jurisdiction.
Many documents in fact have a" testamentary look" because the intended gift may be revocable by the donor and enjoyment of the gift has been postponed until the death of the donor. The fact that a document looks testamentary does not necessary make it so. In many situations the donor is able to enjoy the benefits of the subject matter during his or her life and is still able to avoid the formal requirements of the Wills Act. If the transaction is not testamentary, then the property will not be included as part of the estate, and will not be subject to attack by creditors and Wills Variation claimants.
For example, in Re Walmsley Estate, 2001 SKQB 105, a purported last will was found to not be a testamentary document because the testator's "will" stated that the executor could divide up the estate as he saw fit. The Court held that the document did not manifest a true testamentary intention , and the Court did not have the power to render a document testamentary in nature when it is otherwise not so.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to the drafting solicitor, when preparing documents that are to carry out a transaction outside of the estate, to ensure that the document is not testamentary, as there is always the likelihood that some potential creditor or claimant will question the validity of the instrument by attempting to show that it is in fact a testamentary document.
Again, the fact that a document describes itself as testamentary and is executed in accordance with the Wills Act, does not necessary make it testamentary. As a general rule, the entire document will be rejected from probate if all of its dispositions are operative before death. There have been situations on the other hand, where a part of a document is found to be testamentary because it has no operation at all until death, and it may be severed and admitted to probate.
Problems typically arise where deeds and similar transfers are prepared, and the grantor retains control over the deed and does not intend that it shall have effect until his or her death. If that is the situation, then the deed is really a will, because it is dependent upon his or her death for its "vigor and effect", and unless it is executed with the appropriate formalities, it cannot take effect as one.
The problem is illustrated by the case of Carson v. Wilson (1961) O.R. 113, (C.A.).
The deceased Wilson owned certain parcels of land and executed deeds and lodged them with his solicitor with instructions to hold them and not deliver them until after his death. It was always understood that Wilson could demand to documents back at anytime. Wilson managed the properties until his death. The court held that the transactions were ineffective to transfer title as there was no delivery of the documents, and in any event, they were not intended to take effect until his death. The court found that the transfers were testamentary in nature, and since they did not comply with the formalities of the wills act, they failed. It was also found by the court that they could not take effect as inter vivos trusts, because Wilson retained complete control over the properties while he lived, and he did not intend to create an inter vivos trust.
Generally speaking, the law appears to be reasonably well settled that if that the time of its execution, the document is legally effective to pass some immediate interest in the property, no matter how slight, the transaction will not be classified as testamentary. Stated another way, if the document is intended to have, and does have the effect of transferring the property, or of setting up the trust"in praesenti" ( the present), though to be performed after the settlor's death, it is not testamentary.
Accordingly, in the case that I referred to in the first paragraph of this article, I found a Supreme Court of Canada case to the effect that an option to purchase created an interest as soon as it was executed that could be enforced by the courts. I therefore argued that even though the option could not be exercised until the death of the testator, it's still created an immediate interest in the property, in favor of the donee, that was not dependent upon the death of the testator for its "vigor and effect".
2. CASE LAW WHERE THE TRANSACTION IS NOT TESTAMENTARY
A) Wonnacott v Loewen (1990) 37 E. T.R. 244, B.C.C.A.
This is the leading decision in British Columbia on what constitutes a testamentary document.
In Wonnacott, the defendant moved in with the deceased in March 1988 and the two planned to marry when the defendant's divorce was granted. The deceased wished to give the defendant some financial security, regardless of the outcome of the litigation with her husband, so they consulted a solicitor. Certain documents were prepared and executed, including a transfer of estate in fee simple of the deceased's residence to the defendant, to be used in the event of the deceased's death. The terms governing the use of those documents were contained in an "escrow agreement" which gave the defendant an immediate right to live in the residence. It also provided that the deceased could take the transfer back in specified circumstances, in which case he was required to pay the defendant $60,000. The defendant's divorce was delayed and she was not free to marry before the deceased died in August 1988. She obtained the transfer and had it registered, thereby obtaining title to the residence. The deceased's executor brought an action to set aside the conveyance on the ground that the agreements were testamentary and invalid because of failure to comply with the Wills Act. The action was dismissed and the executor appealed.
The Court dismissed the appeal and held that whatever the form of a duly executed instrument, if the person making it intends that it not take effect until after his death, and it is dependent on his death for its "vigour and effect", it is testamentary. However, if the document creates a gift in praesenti, albeit to be performed after the donor's death, it is not dependent on his death for its "vigour and effect". The documents here, examined in isolation, appeared to be testamentary, but it was clear that they had life and vigour from the beginning. The documents conferred an interest on the defendant that had real value no matter what happened. They gave her an immediate interest in the property and they were not testamentary.
The court examined the decision of Cock v. Cooke (1866), L.R. 1 P.p. & D. 241 at 243, that held that:
"It is undoubted law that whatever may be the form of a duly executed instrument, if the person executing it intends that it shall not take effect until after his death, and it is dependent upon his death for its vigour and effect, it is testamentary."
The court then adopted the reasoning of an Alberta Court of Appeal case, Corlet v. Isle of Man Bank Ltd., [1937] 2 W.W.R. 209, 4 I.L.R. 246, [1937] 3 D.L.R. 163 (Alta. C.A.), which states at p.p. 211:
"The fallacy in the argument based upon the "oft quoted words" of Sir J.P.p. Wilde in Cock v. Cooke (1866) L.R. 1 P.p. 241, 36 L.J.P.p. 5, lies in a misunderstanding of what the words "vigour and effect" are applicable to. They are clearly applicable not to the result to be obtained by, or to the performance of, the terms of the instrument, but to the instrument itself. The question is whether the instrument has "vigour and effect", and does effect, or is "consummate on execution" to effect, a gift or to create a trust. If the document is "consummate" to create a trust in praesenti, though to be performed after the death of donor, it is not dependent upon his death for its vigour and effect."
The court went on to also adopt another Alberta Court of Appeal case, Anderson (Costello) v. Patton, [1948] 1 W.W.R. 461, [1948] 2 D.L.R. 202 (Alta. C.A.), which stated at p.p. 463:
"The question of whether a document evidencing a voluntary settlement, either by way of gift, in the sense of transferring the property in question, or by way of the creation of a trust, is or is not testamentary, depends upon the intention of the settlor.
If the document is not intended to have any operation until the settlor's death it is testamentary.
If the document is intended to have and does have the effect of transferring the property or of setting up a trust thereof in praesenti, though to be performed after the settlor's death, it is not testamentary.
The reservation of a power of revocation is not inconsistent with the creation of a valid trust and does not have the effect of making the document creating it testamentary."
An important aspect of the Wonnacott decision is that the court did not examine the subject document in isolation, but instead looked at the larger picture as to what was intended by the donor . The court accepted that in determining whether a transaction amounts to a testamentary disposition, the court is not limited to an examination of the document of transfer itself, and may look at extrinsic evidence relating to the creation of the document. The Court of Appeal adopted the rule set out in Riddell v. Johnston, 66 O.L.R. 554, [1931] 2 D.L.R. 479 (H.C.) that [at p. 482, D.L.R.]:
"In determining what was the real transaction and its nature and effect, the other documents which were made concurrently with the conveyance and which set forth important parts of the bargain which were not embodied in the conveyance itself, and which expressed the intention of the parties should not and cannot be disregarded. "
B) National Trust Co. v Robertshaw (1986) 5 W.W.R. 695
This case involved the issue as to whether or not a previous designation of a beneficiary in an R.R.S.P. was a testamentary disposition which had been revoked by a subsequent will.
In 1967 the deceased, Robertshaw., designated his wife the beneficiary of a R.R.S.P. (R.R.S.P. No. 1). In 1972 Robertshaw and his wife were divorced. In July 1985 Robertshaw transferred funds from three other R.R.S.P.s into R.R.S.P. No. 1. In August 1985 Robertshaw with her executed a will revoking all former testamentary dispositions and leaving his estate to his three children. The will made no mention of any R.R.S.P. The executors of the will took the position that the 1967 designation of a beneficiary in R.R.S.P. No. 1 was a testamentary disposition which had been revoked by the will. They applied pursuant to R. 18A for a declaration that they were beneficially entitled to receive the proceeds of the R.R.S.P.
Judge Boyd held that while any instrument which is entirely dependent for its vigor and effect upon death must be held to be testamentary,the full "vigor and effect" of the designation of the beneficiary contained in the R.R.S.P. was not entirely dependent on the death of the annuitant as the annuitant may well have affected an inter vires transfer of a contingent interest.
Justice Boyd quoted the following passage from Professor Feeney in Canadian Law of Wills:
"As Professor T. G. Feeney has pointed out in the Canadian Law of Wills, 2nd ed. (1982), vol. 1 (Probate), there is no clear dividing line between a revocable trust inter vivos and a testamentary disposition. Rather, a Canadian court will likely base its decision on the degree of control retained by the settlor. As the learned author states at pp. 11-12:
A court will scrutinize each transaction very carefully, asking itself such questions as the following: Does the settlor retain a life interest or the right to the income from the property until his death? Does he have the right to revoke the trust or withdraw from the scheme? (And what is the effect of revocation? Does he get the property back for himself?) Does he have the right to change the beneficiaries? Does he control the investments that are to be made? Does he have the right to encroach on the capital of the fund?
Clearly the retention of a life interest means nothing by itself, but taken together with such indicia of control over the corpus or capital as the right to revoke, particularly if revocation means getting back complete control of the property, the right to change the beneficiaries, the right to control the investments, or some combination of these and especially the right to encroach on the corpus or capital, is very apt to result in a court declaring the transaction testamentary and void for want of due execution. Control is a question of degree, and exactly when a Canadian court will consider that the settlor retains too much control is difficult to say."
C) Albert v Albert (1982) 13 E.T.R. 149
In this case the court examined an estate that consisted of two term deposits that were held jointly between the deceased and his two daughters which he alone managed and he alone received the interest. An application was brought regarding entitlement two term deposits after his death.
The Court held that although the deceased had exercised sole management of the term deposits before his death, in the absence of evidence to the contrary they constituted a present gift of a joint interest, not a testamentary gift or a donatio mortis causa. The fact that one of the deposits did not contain the words "or survivor" had no effect upon this daughter's survivorship rights.
The Court went on to state the law re joint interests as follows:
" In my opinion, a correct statement of the law is as follows: Unless the evidence supports a contrary conclusion, in the typical case of a joint account being established by one of the parties, or of money being deposited by one party as an investment with a financial institution in the names of that party and another party jointly with a right of survivorship, there is a present gift of a joint interest, not a testamentary gift or a donatio mortis causa.
As Ferguson J.A. said in Re Reid (1921), 59 O.L.R. 595, 64 D.L.R. 598 at 608 (C.A.):
If there was a present gift of a joint interest, it seems clear that it was neither a testamentary gift nor a donatio mortis causa, because it is an essential of both that no title vests until the death of the donor: White & Tudor's L.C. 8th ed., p. 425. The title in right of survivorship was an incident of the joint ownership, an accretion to a title already vested — the donee's absolute title to the fund arose by operation of law, and not, I think, by reason of two separate gifts, i.e., first, a gift of the joint interest, and, second, a gift of a complete and absolute ownership effective only and on and after the death of the donor."
D) Hutton v Lapka Estate (1991) 44 E.T.R. 231
The decision of our Court of Appeal in Hutton v Lapka illustrates just how far our courts will go to seemingly try and find that a document is not testamentary in nature if it has even a small immediate effect, and is thus not totally dependant on death for its "vigour and effect".
The case dealt in part with an action brought by the administrator of the deceased estate on a $295,000 interest-free promissory note signed by a third party in favor of the testator before his death. The note was given as security for a loan for a land purchase and was to be forgiven in the event that the testator died. The trial Judge held that the forgiveness provision of the promissory note was ineffective because it was a testamentary disposition which failed because it was not properly executed pursuant to the Wills Act.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on the basis that the promissory note was not a testamentary disposition, but instead was a contract which had immediate effect . The trial judge was found to have erred in considering the forgiveness clause in isolation from the provisions of the note as a whole, and in holding that separate consideration was needed for the forgiveness clause. The Court followed its previous decision of Wonnacott.
E) Hecht v Hecht ( 1993) 7 W.W.R. 295
Here our Court of Appeal dealt with a Wills Variation action that dealt with inter alia an estate planning scheme devised by Mr. Hecht immediately prior to his death whereby he gifted $9 million through the use of promissory notes. No demand could be made on the promissory notes until 60 days after the testator's death.
The trial judge found that the promissory notes were inter vivos gifts, and the Court of Appeal did not disturb that finding . The trusts were properly constituted and had "vigor and effect" from the time they were settled and funded, which was before the testator's death. The fact that they were funded by promissory notes that were not payable until 60 days after the death of the deceased did not alter this.
F) Corlet v Isle of Man Bank Ltd. (1937) 3 D.L.R. 163 ( Alberta Court of Appeal)
The Alberta Court of Appeal upheld a lawyer's scheme to avoid succession duties as a valid injury vivos transfer, even though the trust was totally revocable by the settlor. The scheme involved the transfer of three life insurance policies are on the life of the settlor to a bank as trustee for the named beneficiaries. In lieu of a will, a the trust document provided the disposition of the proceeds of the policies among those named beneficiaries on the settlor' s death.
The Court held that the beneficiaries obtained in immediate interest, namely the future interest or right to obtain the proceeds of the policies on the settlor's death, was vested in immediately on the execution of the trust. Because the settlor had a right to revoke the trust during his or her lifetime, the Court held that the gift had vested. Death was not the event that gave rise to the beneficiaries' interest in or right to the property, it was the execution of the trust. For a transaction to be testamentary, the death must be more than incidental to the enjoyment of the property : it must be the event that gives rise to the right to so that it can be said that there was no right of any extent vested in the beneficiaries before death.
Professor. Feeney in his book Canadian Law of Wills states
"It should be observed that in the Corlet case, the property involved life insurance policies, rather than an existing fund of money, and that my revocation, the settlor could not get the return of the property for himself, which would have been the case of the property were an existing fund . This is an important distinction and, among other matters, casts some doubt on the non testamentary validity of a revocable trust of an existing fund payable only on the settlor's death and entirely under his or her control during his or her lifetime.
By analogy, and in the absence of applicable legislation, non testamentary designations of beneficiaries under various insurance and retirement benefits scheme may depend, in part, on whether the person making the designation is entitled to receive or to recover any personal benefit if he or she revokes the designation during his or her lifetime."
3. CASE LAW WHERE THE DOCUMENT IS TESTAMENTARY
A) Carson v Wilson (1961) O.R. 113 (C.A.)
The deceased Wilson owned certain parcels of land and executed deeds and lodged them with his solicitor with instructions to hold them and not deliver them until after his death. It was always understood that Wilson could demand to documents back at anytime. Wilson managed the properties until his death. The court held that the transactions were ineffective to transfer title as there was no delivery of the documents, and in any event, they were not intended to take effect until his death. The court found that the transfers were testamentary in nature, and since they did not comply with the formalities of the wills act, they failed. It was also found by the court that the could not take effect as inter vivos trusts, because Wilson retained complete control over the properties while he lived, and he did not intend to create an inter vivos trust.
B) Re Bottcher Estate ( 1990) 45 E.T.R. 19
In 1980 the testatrix purchased an R.R.S.P. from a trust company, designating her son as beneficiary. The application form was accepted by the trust company over the signature of its agent, although the testatrix's signature did not appear. The R.R.S.P. was transferred to another trust company in 1984 and the transfer documents recorded that the son had contributed to it. In 1987 the testatrix made her will, which contained a general revocation clause, revoking all former wills and testamentary dispositions.
The administrator applied to the court under s. 88 of the Trustee Act for inter alia directions with respect to the entitlement to the R.R.S.P.,
The court held that the designation was testamentary in nature, but was not affected by the general revocation clause in the will. While s. 46(3) of the Law and Equity Act provides that a designation of a beneficiary may be revoked, it does not indicate a manner of revocation. The legislature has specifically permitted beneficiaries to be designated without complying with the formalities of the Wills Act, not only as regards R.R.S.P.s, but also insurance policies and employee benefit plans. Specific provisions are made for revocation in the case of insurance policies and employee benefit plans. To conclude that only designations under an R.R.S.P. would be caught up by a general revocation clause in a will would be incongruous and defeat the apparent legislative intent. Accordingly, something more than a general revocation clause in a will is required to revoke a designation validly made other than by will. Moreover, it has been held that a general revocation clause in a will does not in every instance revoke previous dispositions made by will or outside a will, at least if the court is satisfied that there was no intention to revoke a particular gift or legacy.
C) Reference Re Pfrimmer estate (1936) 44 Man.R. 96
Pursuant to a plan to avoid probate costs and succession duties with respect to his estate, the deceased executed transfers, duly registered, of his properties to himself, his wife, his son, and his son-in-law, as joint tenants. At the same time an agreement, entitled "Declaration of Trust" , was executed by all four.
The Court held that the conveyances and the writings were intended by the deceased to take the place of a testamentary disposition under The Manitoba Wills Act, in order to avoid probate expense and succession duties, and not to create an irrevocable trust by a binding transfer of the properties. The court cited to following passage:
" The law is clear that, to give validity to a declaration of trust of property, it is necessary that the donor or grantor should have absolutely parted with his interest in the property, and have effectually put such interest beyond his own reach. See Warriner v. Rogers (1873) L.R. 16 Eq. 340, 42 L.J. Ch. 581; Richards v. Delbridge (1874) L.R. 18 Eq. 11, 43 L.J. Ch. 459; In re Shield; Pethybridge v. Burrow (1885) 53 L.T. 5. Whatever may be the form of an instrument, if the person executing it intends that it shall not take effect until after his death, and it is dependent upon his death for its vigour and effect, it is not a trust: In re Cassidy (1832) 4 Hagg. Ecc. 360, 162 E.R. 1477; Cock v. Cooke (1866) L.R. 1 P. 241, 36 L.J.P. 5; Sproule v. Murray (1919) 45 O.L.R. 326. Thus, in Malin v. Keighley (1794) 2 Ves. Jun. 333, 30 E.R. 659, the Master of the Rolls said:
I will lay down the rule as broad as this; whenever any person gives property, and points out the object, the property, and the way it shall go, that does create a trust, unless he shows clearly, that his desire expressed is to be controlled by the party; and that he shall have an option to defeat it.
Hence it is the rule that an instrument even though in the form of a deed which is not to become operative until the maker's death is testamentary in its character, and its operation depends upon its execution complying with The Manitoba Wills Act: Habergham v. Vincent (1793) 2 Ves Jr. 204, 30 E.R. 595; Shinbane v. Minuk, 36 Man. R. 530, [1927] 2 W.W.R. 121; Hill v. Hill (1905) 8 O.L.R. 710; Towers v. Hogan (1889) 23 L.R. Ir. 53."
D) MacInnes v MacInnes (1935) S.C.R. 200
This Supreme Court of Canada case involved an insured who was a member of a fund established by his employers in the nature of insurance or provision for the future of such employees who joined. If a participating employee died, an amount was payable to his beneficiary as designated by him, and he might change the beneficiary or revoke the designation. In an instrument called the "Employee's Acceptance", the insured directed the trustees of the fund upon his withdrawal therefrom to pay to him the amount to which he was entitled, upon his death to pay such amount to his wife, or otherwise as he might have last designated by writing lodged with the trustees, or by will. The document was witnessed by one witness only, and the Court held that the document was testamentary in nature and was thus ineffective to allow the named beneficiary to take. The insured's share in the fund became part of his estate as the right of the beneficiary was dependant upon the death of the participating employee for its "vigour and effect".
The issue as to whether or not a document is testamentary in nature is an interesting yet somewhat confusing area of the law. The general principle of law is that if at the time of its execution, the document is legally effective to pass some immediate interest in the property, no matter how slight, then the transaction will not be classified as testamentary. In many of the cases the courts have taken a very liberal approach to find that an immediate interest in the property has been created that is not dependent on death for its "vigor and effect". Nevertheless, estate solicitors should be well aware of the possible pitfalls in the drafting of documents that are not intended to be testamentary in nature, but by reason of estate planning procedures, could very well be deemed to be such by a subsequent Court, if proper care is not applied.

TSB Identifies Deficiencies with Aircraft Landing in Deteriorating Weather Conditions
Dec. 14, 2007, Gatineau, Que. - The TSB has released its final report into the runway overrun of an Air France Airbus A340 at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport on Aug. 2, 2005.
Dec. 14, 2007, Gatineau, Que. – The Transportation Safety
Board of Canada (TSB) has released its final report (A05H0002) into
the runway overrun of an Air France Airbus A340 at Toronto/Lester B.
Pearson International Airport, Ontario, on August 2, 2005.
Since the Air France accident in Toronto, 10 large aircraft have
gone off runways around the world in bad weather. "This is an
unacceptable risk," said Wendy Tadros, Chair of the TSB. She went on to
add, "We believe more must be done to ensure aircraft will always touch
down safely so passengers don't get hurt. That is why the TSB is making
seven recommendations today."
The first five recommendations focus on crews and the need for
mandatory standards, training, and procedures. The TSB is also making
two recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of injury following an
On August 2, 2005, the Airbus A340-313 departed Paris, France, as
Flight 358, bound for Toronto. There were 297 passengers and 12 crew
members on board. The aircraft approached Toronto in a severe and
rapidly changing thunderstorm with shifting winds and limited
visibility. It came in too high and too fast. Touching down almost
halfway along the wet and slippery runway, it simply ran out of room.
The TSB is an independent agency that investigates marine, pipeline,
railway and aviation transportation occurrences. Its sole aim is the
advancement of transportation safety. It is not the function of the
Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.

Last fall, I was struggling with finding some tangible motivation for hitting the gym hard. Then the fiasco with the TSA and the body scan machines kicked in. So, on the chance that I would be selected for a random full body pat down, I hit the gym hard. Today it happened.
And it wasn't that random.
Expecting the cab out to JFK to take a long time because of morning traffic, I left earlier than I normally would. And perhaps that is the reason that we hit no traffic. Arriving at JFK a full hour ahead of my flight's boarding time, I was feeling adventurous and a tad bit snarky. When I was pulled out of line for the full body scanner (which I have done a million times, no problem) I decided it was time to see the fruits of my gym regimen.
"Really? You want a full body pat down?" The TSA women looked at me and asked.
"Male assist!" she barked out with a slight snarl.
Then, all the sweat in the gym paid off. Two male TSA agents, that I have no doubt played defensive end earlier in their life, looked at each other, back at me, and then back at each other. Saying nothing to each other, they each put out their right fist in front of them and locked eyes.
"One, two, three..." and they began a best 2 out of 3 match of rock-paper-scissor.
My morning, no, my week, was made in that exact moment. Two huge TSA agents farkling over who had to pat me down. The winner, raised his hands in the air, did a little dance, and went back to sitting around. The loser, looking like someone just told him that he had to go on a diet, wandered over and with sad eyes and gave me the full treatment, blue gloves and all.
Moral of the story for the general public: the TSA hates patting you down as much as you hate being patted down.

Q: js-cookie samesite and httpOnly I'm using js-cookie 2.2.0 and I would like to add the samesite flag but i don't find anything about.
Here my actual code.
Cookies.set('traffweb' + cookieName, cookieStr, {
expires: 7,
path: window.location.href,
secure: true
})
how can I add a samesite flag?
A: I added a "sameSite" attribute and the warning went away
Cookies.set('name', 'value', { sameSite:'strict' });
A: For SameSite=None + Secure:
Cookies.set('name', 'value', {sameSite: 'None', secure: true});
A: From what I can gather, "sameSite" is intended to be added in a future release of js-cookie, beyond 2.2.1. It is mentioned in the docs for the master branch of js-cookie on GitHub (https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/tree/latest#readme).
Whether this represents an actual code change or just a documentation update, I don't know. Setting sameSite='strict' did not eliminate the warning that I have been receiving. My own app does not need to pass cookies cross-site, so I am just ignoring the warning for now.
The answer, then, would seem to be to wait for a future version, assuming that an actual js-cookie code change will be required.

Tom Crean landed his first Georgia commit Monday in Upson-Lee star Tye Fagan.
Tom Crean was hired as Georgia's basketball coach on March 15, and since then, there really hasn't been a whole lot of news coming out of the program, especially with recruiting.
Yes, there have been a couple of hires made to the coaching staff (and one not made as Jarvis Hayes left for Xavier), but the recruiting news had been slow since Crean took over. That changed Monday when Upson-Lee guard Tye Fagan committed for the 2018 class, giving Crean his first pledge.
Fagan is a 3-star combo guard from Thomaston, and while most fans don't get too excited when they see a 3-star rating, they should get excited about Fagan. He is a really good player and is ranked as the No. 18 combo guard in the country by the 247Sports composite rankings.
He reportedly picked Georgia over Ole Miss and Middle Tennessee, among others, after being committed to Middle Tennessee. Fagan dropped that commitment after Blue Raiders coach Kermit Davis left for the job at Ole Miss.
Fagan joins Norcross' JoJo Toppin and Johnson-Savannah's Amanze Ngumezi in Georgia's 2018 class. Toppin and Ngumezi were signed by previous coach Mark Fox and stuck with the Bulldogs through the coaching transition to Crean.
What is Georgia getting in Fagan? A winner.
The Knights have won 63 straight games, including victories over St. Pius X the last two years for the GHSA Class 4A championship, and Fagan was a big part of that. He might only be listed as a 3-star recruit, but he likely will end up being remembered as much better than that.
He can do it all on the court and probably will earn some playing time right away as the Bulldogs transition to their new coaching staff. Fagan is tough and plays with a hard-nosed style, and he's just the kind of player to get the Georgia basketball team rolling.
Sure, he's not a huge name or a 5-star recruit, but he's a fighter and knows what it takes to win and is willing to do that. That's what the Bulldogs need right now.
There has been some consternation about Georgia's recruiting since Crean took over. In-state star Ashton Hagans, one of those coveted 5-star players, de-committed from the Bulldogs after Fox was fired and has since committed to Kentucky. And then there was the slow period with not much recruiting news.
But Crean will do just fine. After all, he did sign Dwyane Wade at Marquette and Victor Oladipo at Indiana, and those two turned into pretty good players, right?
So just give Crean time, and let's see how this plays out before jumping to any conclusions about recruiting. Landing Fagan is a pretty good start.

HomeNewsUS Bans Citizens From Travelling To 12 Nigerian States (See Full List)
US Bans Citizens From Travelling To 12 Nigerian States (See Full List)
Standard News Reporter 10:52 AM
The United States of America has banned its citizens from travelling to 12 Nigerian states.
This news medium reports that the United States Embassy in Nigeria has cautioned American citizens to reconsider traveling to Nigeria due to COVID-19, crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime.
The US in a notice shared on its official website and Twitter, cautioned its citizens residing in Nigeria against intra and inter state movements as crimes tend to increase during holidays in the country.
"We remind U.S. citizens to exercise caution while traveling and residing in Nigeria. Crime is endemic throughout Nigeria, ranging from petty street crime to carjacking, and crime levels tend to increase during the holidays," the embassy wrote, highlighting danger zones in the country.
Standard News learned that US cautioned its citizens residing in Nigeria against traveling to Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, and Yobe states for fear of terrorism and kidnap.
The US in its notice, also identified Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, Delta, and Rivers states as "unsafe coastal areas" out of fear of possible civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime.
"Violent crime – such as armed robbery, assault, carjacking, kidnapping, and rape – is common throughout the country. Exercise extreme caution throughout the country due to the threat of indiscriminate violence.
"Terrorists continue plotting and carrying out attacks in Nigeria, especially in the North-east. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting shopping centers, malls, markets, hotels, places of worship, restaurants, bars, schools, government installations, transportation hubs, and other places where crowds gather," the embassy noted.
Below is the breakdown of the 12 states the US has warned its citizens against.
1. Adamawa
2. Bauchi
3. Borno
4. Gombe

Australia's most wanted fugitives jailed for 40 years for murder
Gino Stocco and his son Mark were charged with more than 30 offences.
By Divya Kishore

Gino and Mark Stocco have been given 40 years of jail New South Wales Police
A court in Australia on Friday (31 March) awarded 40 years of jail term to the most-wanted fugitives of the country.
Gino Stocco and his son Mark were jailed for murder of a New South Wales (NSW) man and a series of other offences, including a shootout with police during a two-week manhunt.

According to reports, the duo was charged with more than 30 offences including the murder of 68-year-old Rosario Cimone, whom they killed in 2015. The pair used to share the property near Dunedoo in central-western New South Wales with the victim.
Gino was handed a non-parole period of 28 years, while Mark, 35, received 30 year non-parole sentence.
The court had earlier heard that the duo was on the run from police for a range of alleged crimes for around eight years when they killed Cimone in 2015.
They had taken shelter on the victim's property on the provision they would help maintain it. However, relationship between the owner and the tenants went sour and they killed him.
The father-son duo has pleaded guilty and said the killing was "unplanned" and was stimulated by "anger" and "frustration", ABC reported. They shot Cimone twice in the stomach and left his body in the bushes.
However, after two-weeks of manhunt across three states, the Stuccos were caught on a rural property at Dunedoo in central NSW. They had fired at police with a high-powered rifle during a car pursuit in Wagga Wagga in NSW before they were held, the BBC reported.
The father and the son have also pleaded guilty to shooting at police to avoid arrest and destroying property.
"They've shown no remorse, as if their actions mean nothing to them. We hope that the horror of what they've done and the pain they've inflicted will stay with them," Cimone's daughter, Maria Perre, said after the sentencing in Sydney. "The irony is, they still have each other."

Très Fancy Restaurant Europea's Dining Room Is For Sale
But Europea itself isn't closing

Share All sharing options for: Très Fancy Restaurant Europea's Dining Room Is For Sale
Gerry S./Yelp
Exceedingly popular downtown French restaurant Europea is up for sale — kind of.
The restaurant, known for chef Jérôme Ferrer's creations like the lobster bisque cappuccino, is listed on commercial real estate website Acquizition.biz, but representatives for Ferrer say that Europea will live on in different premises (more on that in a moment).
Europea has occupied a Victorian-era building on de la Montagne since 2002, with a tableclothed dining room spread over two floors and connected by a spiral staircase. And the listing reveals that the space is bigger than meets the eye: it boasts the potential for three terrasses (one on the roof), as well as a large office space, conference room, wine cellar, and obviously, the sizeable kitchen space required to churn out Ferrer's fairly elaborate tasting menus.
Ferrer is listed as the contact for budding buyers, but it seems that the building itself isn't for sale — rather, it's some kind of lease takeover, where the business itself and the right to occupy the space is for sale. The building appears to be owned by Marc Kakon of Montreal's MK Group realtors. It's listed as being fully equipped (and priced at $495,000) — which means if Europea is moving elsewhere, it's going to be starting afresh with new fixings, decor, and the works.
It seems that Europea will be possibly moving just metres away: in April, La Presse reported that Ferrer is working on a two-level restaurant in the Roccabella condo development on Rene-Levesque and de la Montagne, with a lounge and all-day tea room. It hasn't been confirmed whether this development will be the new Europea, but if it is, this more casual-sounding lounge business means it's somewhat of a service shake-up for the mostly lunch-and-dinner tasting menu oriented place. That new project is set to open later this year.
Of course, finding a successful new tenant for the current Europea location could be a challenge: Ferrer's restaurant is very high-end, and somewhat of a destination, drawing substantial crowds (often tourists) even on weekday lunches. Any replacement would need to have a solid cash flow to survive — or else it had better establish itself pretty darn fast to make such a big space work.

Eemshaven är en hamn i Eemsmond kommun, provinsen Groningen, Nederländerna.
År 1968 beslöt Nederländernas regering att området kring floden Ems mynning (Eemsmond) skulle bli en ekonomisk nyckelregion. Ett huvudprojekt var att bygga den nya hamnen Eemshaven, som invigdes 1973. År 2007 fanns det planer att bygga en LNG-terminal och också planer på en biodieselfabrik.
Mottagningsstationen för kraftkabeln NorNed ligger i Eemshaven. Den motsvarande likriktarstationen ligger i Feda i Vest-Agder i Norge.
Hösten 2022 togs Nederländernas första importterminal för flytande naturgas, Emshaven LNG-terminal, i drift.

On this first day of the year we woke long after dawn to a sun high and hot enough to burn off the fog. The ground was glazed in a thin sheath of frost, the cats mewed restlessly at our feet. The night before, we clinked wine glasses fizzing with pink champagne and lit and released the last of our paper lanterns at midnight, watched as they rose up and away from us and disappeared in the distance. It felt sad and beautiful all at once and filled us both with a kind of longing and sudden affection that we clutched each other in our arms and watched in silence.
After breakfast, Jon deemed it time to try out his hand-built wooden kayak for the first time in the water. He joked all year that he wanted to try this alone, because if it failed he didn't want witness, but in the end he asked me to come regardless.
His kayak was flawless in the cold, clear water. Of course it would, of course. Jon is meticulous, hands of gold, nothing he builds fails. He paddled up creek and around the corner, returned and considered going down but hesitated at the rocks jutting above the surface. I took a turn in it, feeling shaky and amazed, pausing to watch bass the size of my calves flash silver in the water below me. Back on shore as I watched him carry the kayak back toward the truck, I carried the wooden paddle over my shoulder and felt a flash of nostalgia for this exact moment, felt the burst of gratitude to be alive, here, now.
It was a good day, it was a good day.
In the afternoon, Jon drove to Tulsa with a friend to pick up a motorcycle (the friend's, not his). I cooked a long, slow New Years dinner (Hoppin' John, greens, cornbread) and settled in to watch House Hunters, beach. The second the first landscape shot flashed across the screen, I knew the episode was in Oregon, and I felt a pang of homesickness.
My grandmother is long dead and everyone else I loved from the coast has moved on and moved away, so the longing I feel for that place from my past is that—place, the physical place. I miss the coarse sand, I miss the tumbling ocean. I miss the savage coast, the plummeting cliff faces, the clumsy sea lions sunning themselves at low tide. I miss it all.
I missed it so much during the 30-minute episode that I poured a glass of wine (an Oregon pinot noir, of course) and while I settled back into the sofa, was caught off guard by the beauty of my own home, this farm, the view from the covered porch that peers down the long valley dotted with cows, and the cardinals flitting through the bare branches of trees (how I longed for trees with bare branches in the evergreen-stuffed forests of childhood!) and the rustle of deer in the meadow behind the house. The sky was streaked with pink, there's threat of snow on the horizon. It's a different world, somehow softer and cruder all at once. But it's where I live, a new part of who I am now.
Change is hard, growth is harder.
Breathe in, breath out. Tell myself: Home is now. This is good. There's magic in these moments, too, in the life ahead, too. Happy New Year.

Supporting you to make Scouting more inclusive
UK Chief Commissioner Tim Kidd explains why we are making the time and space to consider how we best support our volunteers with inclusion, so we continue to welcome young people of all backgrounds and abilities.
In Scouting we always put young people first. But we rely on amazing section leaders too. You give your time, energy and expertise to help young people have fun and gain the skills to succeed. In return you should get all the support you need. You should be able to enjoy your role and feel you know where to turn in a challenging situation.
I know you and your teams work hard to support tens of thousands of Scouts with disabilities such as autism. However, this week, you may have seen some media coverage about a young person on the autism spectrum who didn't have such a positive experience. We have made a personal apology to the family.
Firstly, cases that result in situations like this are very unusual. Naturally though, this has raised some concerns among leaders, and I want to address these fully over time. However what we must avoid is rushing to conclusions or decisions that do not properly address all the issues.
We need to take a measured approach to ensure the best outcomes for all and create the space to do this. That's exactly why we have launched a learning inquiry to learn from this experience, and importantly, so we can give you the support you need to continue to welcome all young people into Scouting.
What we can learn from this case
Although I cannot go into further detail on this specific case, I am keen to ensure that we discover everything we can from the learning inquiry.
The National Autistic Society has agreed to be part of this work and the rest of the panel are members of Scouting with many years' experience delivering the programme. Therefore recommendations will be grounded in the realities of running a voluntary organisation. You can feed into this process too by sharing your experiences of supporting young people with disabilities to participate in Scouting and sending them to us at diversity.inclusion@scouts.org.uk.
We will share the key learnings widely throughout the Movement in the autumn term. Until then, I have signposted our current resources and support at the end of this blog.
Our commitment to inclusivity
I want to be very clear about this. As a Movement, we are committed to being fully inclusive and I know you, our volunteers, take great pride in that. This isn't just the law, it's a commitment that is embedded in our values.
Many volunteers have told me that they did not feel that this case was representative of the way we so warmly welcome young people of all backgrounds and abilities across the UK.
Several leaders who contacted me this week stressed the importance of an open dialogue with parents, who know how best to include their child in activities. Others have said that using our risk assessment process is an effective way to consider what additional support young people may need.
Why we're here to support you
Let's be realistic. Situations can often be complex, for example where volunteers are supporting a number of young people with disabilities. Proper planning and resources are needed while considering the needs of other Scouts in the Group. We must continue to consider the impact on young people when making decisions, including their safety.
We are not statutory services, but the law, and our own rules, mean that all Scout Groups must make reasonable adjustments to support young people with disabilities, including those with autism, so that everyone can access Scouting and progress between sections. That is why we need to support each other and signpost advice to help everyone stay within the law and deliver inclusive Scouting.
It is, therefore, vital that the right systems, advice and support are in place to support you as a volunteer. Just as important is that you should know how to access them. In Scouting, you should never feel you are left alone to cope with a challenging situation and while we already have good resources, we could be doing more to help you.
Giving you the support you need
Moving forward, I want to ensure that every volunteer is prepared when a young person with disabiltiies joins a Group and knows who they can go to if they need support. There isn't an expectation for everyone to become an expert in dealing with all forms of disability. Rather, we want everyone to know how to comply with the law and where to seek help.
By doing this, we can ensure that all young people get the chance to enjoy Scouting and you, our volunteers, are reassured and protected.
Sharing your stories of inclusion
Since the media coverage I have been immensely heartened by the volunteers who have shared their positive experiences of welcoming young people with disabilities. Often having members with such a need can be a positive learning experience for everyone in a Group and many are strengthened as a result. It's when our values of care, respect, integrity, cooperation and belief really shine through. As I mentioned, please continue to share these experiences with us at diversity.inclusion@scouts.org.uk.
Taking time to make the right decisions
I would like to finish with a few words of caution. None of this work is easy and we do not have all the answers at this point. I do not want us to rush to conclusions. That's why I want the learning inquiry to consult as widely as possible based on expert input and real-world experience. We will take the time needed to get this right. Let's wait for its conclusions, then act decisively on its recommendations.
Clearly this is an emotive issue and we need to be especially sensitive to everyone involved at a local level in this case. So I ask that we don't speculate or add comments on this case on social media. Healthy debate is important, but speculation on matters this complex and sensitive runs the risk of causing further hurt and harm.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Scouting and inclusion. This has been a challenging week but I have no doubt that we will come through it stronger and more committed than ever to providing Scouting for all.

Goldie Emeralda is originated from Jakarta, Indonesia. Her genuine love in music led Goldie to show her talent and passion at the age of 15 by trying her hand being a DJ. Her friend introduced her about DJ and then she learned by using Traktor on her friend's laptop. Until she picked up how to work on it, she bought her own Digital Controller and she improvised and developing it herself.
"I basically taught myself how to DJ, but I've been inspired by DJs throughout my whole career. I have some good friends that would hook us up with music. You learn some little things here and there from each DJ and of course each performances you did and just take it and put your own style into it."
Her preferred music genre is House, Dutch House Electro House & Progressive House, but she can also play Twerk, R&B, and Trap. She look up to great people around the world such as Laidback Luke and Juicy M as her influencer.
She've been turning heads to different cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Lampung, Medan, Makassar, Bali, Jambi, Palembang, Surabaya, Bandung, Pekalongan, Batam, Carbon and Pekanbaru. Not only that, but Goldie also managed herself to perform in Australia since she's currently living in Brisbane; and that's how she improve her R&B skills.
She has shared the same decks with other International DJs like R3HAB & Moti and played as an opening act for Marnik.
Goldie's hopes and dreams are to improve further as a DJ and to develop her skills. Hopefully, her experience will brought her even bigger recognition among people across the globe.
The future of Goldie Emeralda promises yet more success as she continues to create and bring something new for everyone on the dance floor

La sonate K. 318 (F.266/L.31) en fa dièse majeur est une œuvre pour clavier du compositeur italien Domenico Scarlatti.
Présentation
La sonate K. 318, notée Andante, et la suivante (couplées dans tous les manuscrits sauf Madrid) sont les seules en fa dièse majeur. Scarlatti commence la pièce avec une gamme descendante à la main droite (alors que la la présente montante). Le compositeur semble moins intéressé par les difficultés digitales de la tonalité que par les diverses modulations possibles, utilisant l'ut mineur, tonalité la plus éloignée du fa dièse.
Manuscrits
Le manuscrit principal est le numéro 23 du de Venise (1753), copié pour Maria Barbara ; l'autre est Parme . Les autres sources manuscrites sont Münster et .
Interprètes
Au piano, les interprètes de la sonate sont notamment Christian Zacharias (1984, EMI), Fou Ts'ong (1985, Meridian), Ievgueni Zarafiants (1999, Naxos, vol. 6), Carlo Grante (Music & Art, vol. 2), Sveinung Bjelland (2006, Simax), Anne Queffélec (2014, Mirare), Ievgueni Soudbine (2015, BIS) et Christian Ihle Hadland (2018, Simax) ; au clavecin, Ralph Kirkpatrick (1970, Archiv), Scott Ross (Erato, 1985), Maggie Cole (1986, Amon Ra), Virginia Black (CRD), Richard Lester (2003, Nimbus, vol. 3), Diego Ares (2012, Pan Classics), Pieter-Jan Belder (2014, Brilliant Classics).

Q: char* Input function Causes Seg Fault Working on an assignment about Abstract Base classes, I'm running into a segment fault when I execute the getInput function I created in the addRecord function. I've tried a variety of methods for getting the user input for the name of the Employee/Student, however I keep running into issues with it.
getInput:
char* getInput(std::string message)
{
char* name;
std::cout << message << std::endl;
std::cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '\n');
std::cin.getline(name, INT_MAX);
return name;
}
addRecord:
/*
* addRecord(vecotr<base*>& v)
*
* Ask the user which type of record they want to add, an employee or student. Once
* they have made their selection, dynamically create a new pointer of the selected
* type of record and have them fill out the record's members via its set methods,
* then add it to the vector using the vector method .push_back().
*/
void addRecord(std::vector<Base*>& v)
{
std::cout << "--Records to Create--" << std::endl;
std::cout << "1.) Student Record" << std::endl;
std::cout << "2.) Employee Record" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Please select from the above options: ";
int sel = intInputLoop(1, 2);
clearConsole();
if (sel == 1)
{
char* name;
/*
std::cout << "Record Type: Student" << std::endl;
std::cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '\n');
std::cin.getline(name, INT_MAX);
*/
name = getInput("What is the Student's name? ");
float gradePointAverage = (float)intInputLoop(0, 4);
Student student = Student();
student.setName(name);
student.setGradePointAverage(gradePointAverage);
Base* bp = &student;
v.push_back(bp);
std::cout << "Added Student record for " << name << " with a grade point average of " << gradePointAverage << std::endl;
delete name;
}
else
{
char* name;
std::cout << "Record Type: Employee" << std::endl;
name = getInput("What is the Employee's name? ");
std::cout << "What is the Employee's salary? ";
int salary = intInputLoop(0, 0);
Employee employee = Employee();
employee.setName(name);
employee.setSalary(salary);
Base* bp = &employee;
v.push_back(bp);
std::cout << "Added Employee record for " << name << " with a salary of " << salary << std::endl;
delete name;
}
}
Any input is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
A: char* name;
This declares a pointer, to an indeterminate number of char values. Who knows how many of them there are. It could be just one, very lonely char, sitting there, all by itself with nobody to play with. It could be a million, an entire city of chars. It's completely unspecified, nobody knows; that's because the pointer is completely uninitialized. Nothing in C++ happens automatically. If you intend to use a pointer, it must, well, point somewhere valid before you can use that pointer.
std::cin.getline(name, INT_MAX);
This call to getline reads input into a pointer. The pointer must point to valid memory. Since the pointer is uninitialized, this is undefined behavior, and is the reason for your crash.
Since your intent here is to use C++, the simplest solution is to use a C++ class that just happens to handle all the memory management for you: std::string:
std::string name;
std::getline(std::cin, name);
You'll need to replace all old-fashioned char * pointers, which is what you would use if you were writing C code, with std::string. After all: this is C++, not C.

Fiendish CryptoLocker ransomware: Whatever you do, don't PAY
Create remote backups before infection, advise infosec bods
John Leyden Fri 18 Oct 2013 // 12:58 UTC
Vid A fiendishly nasty strain of Windows malware that uses advanced encryption to lock up user files before demanding a ransom is doing the rounds.
CryptoLocker, which first surfaced early last month, leaves users in danger of losing important files forever unless they pay up. Typically the crooks relieve them of around $300 (£185).
The malware initially spreads through botnets or as an infected attachment of phishing messages. For example, CryptoLocker appeared in attachments to supposed customer complaint emails sent to firms last month, as an advisory note from security firm Emsisoft explains in greater depth.
More recently CryptoLocker has been spreading as a secondary infection through the infamous ZeuS botnet. If successful, CryptoLocker will encrypt users' files using asymmetric encryption, featuring a public and private key pair. The public key is used to encrypt and verify data, while the private key is used for decryption.
The malware encrypts a wide variety of file types on compromised Windows PCs before displaying a ransom message demanding payment within by a fixed deadline, that typically falls within three or four days from the date of infection. Payment is demanded in the form of anonymous prepaid cash services such as MoneyPak, Ukash, cashU or through the Bitcoin digital currency.
Jonathan, a Reg reader who runs a remote IT support business, described the ransomware as the most destructive virus he'd come across in more than 10 years in the business.
"One of my clients has been infected with a new ransomware virus called CryptoLocker," he told El Reg. "This is the most destructive virus that I have seen in 13 years because it encrypts .doc, .xls, .jpg, and .dwg files, even via network shares."
"The virus appears to be spread in the UK via emails purporting to come from Companies House. There is no known decryption as yet, other than paying the $300 ransom," he added.
Decryption is difficult, if not impossible, unless a victim has access to the private key stored on the cybercriminals' server. Victims are told they need to hand over $300 to cybercrooks to obtain access to the private key within three or four days. Failure to act means the files are locked up in a vault that is fiendishly difficult to break into, perhaps meaning the scrambled files will be lost forever.
CryptoLocker is similar is some ways to other forms of ransomware, such as the Reveton police Trojan, but it's far more sophisticated in its construction and aggressive in its demands.
The necessary decryption key is never left lying around on host machines. CryptoLocker phones home to a command-and-control server to obtain a public RSA key before it begins the task of silently encrypting files on compromised machines. The same command server also hosts the private key.
Malware that encrypts your data and tries to sell it back to you is not new. As net security firm Sophos points out, CryptLocker chiefly differs because it uses industry-standard cryptography for malign purposes.
"SophosLabs has received a large number of scrambled documents via the Sophos sample submission system," Sophos explains in a blog post.
"These have come from people who are keenly hoping that there's a flaw in the CryptoLocker encryption, and that we can help them get their files back," adds the firm. "But as far as we can see, there's no backdoor or shortcut: what the public key has scrambled, only the private key can unscramble."
A video from SophosLab showing the malware in action can be found on the next page. Victims receive little or no indication of problems on an infected machine while the malware is encrypting files in the background.
Next page: 'It may be possible to recover previous versions of the encrypted files'
